rain

i love to hear it raining out the window near my chair 
i love to sense the chilling as it hangs there in the air 
and it comes on all too quickly and i hope that it will last 
all the feelings in the present - all the mem’ries from the past 

    i've always loved the raining - all four seasons come around 
    and it's like my heaven's crying and i'm lifted by the sound 
    slide my door to better hear it slide my heart to let it in 
    when november rains come calling and the showers all begin 

i've grown cold as i've grown older - wrapped in blankets in my chair 
and i turn on my lone heater and i wait for warming there 
as my own life keeps evolving - as i spin on in my fate 
there's a sense that life is passing and the hour's growing late 

    there's no thunder in this storming- it's just showers near my door 
    i am grateful just to hear it and i want to hear it more 
    toss these tears down oh my heaven - try to help me soothe my pain 
    let the weather pull me upwards as i listen to the rain 

do not move this on too sudden - let it linger for an hour 
angels speak to me in raindrops - God is there in every shower 
do not let the dawn come quickly - let me sky cry all its tears 
with the night's own rain approaching and the storming front comes near 

    i love to hear it raining out the window near my chair 
    mother nature out to call me back to life if i might dare 
    for i wrestle almost daily searching out for what is true 
    let it rain on till the morning - let it wash my soul anew
