I HEARD IT IN THE RAIN
HALF WAY THROUGH THE DAY
IN THE MIDST OF MAY
THE RAIN IS NEVER WRONG

CLOUDS LIKE SHEETS TO COMFORT ME
SKIES TOO FAR TO FRIGHTEN ME
NOT A MAN TO SEE I WAS ALONE

LEFT THE TRACKS AND BLENDED IN
SO NICELY WITH THE WOODS I WAS IN
SEEMED LIKE ALL THE TREES WERE
WATCHING OVER ME

OOOO
THE LAND WAS SO MAGNETIC
YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES AND EVERYTHING’ S
CONNECTED

THEN I SAW THE BIRD AGAIN
THE VERY BIRD THAT ONCE BEGAN
TO ILLUSTRATE THE FALL OF RAIN WITH
RINGING SOUNDS

I GAVE THE BIRD YOUR NAME
MADE IT COME MY WAY
IT LANDED ON MY SHOE & IT SANG
A RAINY SONG

OOOO
THE LAND WAS SO MAGNETIC
YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES & EVERYTHING’ S
CONNECTED
( & YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT’ S REAL UNTIL YOU )
TOUCH THE GROUND AND SO YOU ARE
CONNECTED
( & YOU THINK YOU’ RE ALL ALONE UNTIL YOU
CLOSE YOUR EYES & EVERYTHING’ S
CONNECTED )

A MAN I FINALLY CAME ACROSS
SAW MY TEARS & WIPED THEM OFF
I SAID THE RAIN WAS IN MY HEAD AND
HE WOULDS SMILE

CLOUDS LIKE SHEETS TO COMFORT US
SKIES TOO FAR TO FRIGHTEN US
WE COULD HEAR THE LAUGHTER OF
THE MOCKING BIRD
