Looks Like Rain

All the rivers are bending And the mountains are peaking And the flowers are blooming And the meadows are rolling Into waves, they wash up on the shore And barely touch your toes The clouds are crowding around us For some reason, no one knows And I said, "Hey, looks like rain" Then you lifted your hands and prayed "Go away, you can come back some other day" But they stayed and you soaked under all of the grey And the rain washed all our cries and pleas away Now the season is changing And the leaves now are turning And the birds aren't singing And the grass isn't green anymore Than it used to be when the sunbeams lit it up And the clouds are crowding around us Just to say they've had enough And I said, "Hey, looks like rain" Then you lifted your hands and prayed "Go away, you can come back some other day" But they stayed and you soaked under all of the grey And the rain washed all our cries and pleas away And now the current takes us out And all the ripples turn to waves The wind begins caressing All the branches to a sway The air shattered the glass It felt like crystals on your face I took you in my arms And I could hear you saying grace And I said, "Hey, looks like rain" Then you lifted your hands and prayed "Go away, you can come back some other day" But they stayed and you soaked under all of the grey And the rain washed all our cries and pleas away
