The Sun and the Rain

It's been raining quite a bit today, ok, it's been raining all day today. Anyway, so needing to buy food, to allow me to eat and all that, I had to venture out into the tempest...

Alright, by the time I went out it was more rain than tempest, but you get the idea. I rather enjoy walking in the rain, I'll let Mike Barson explain why:

"It's raining again,
I'm hearing its pitter patter down.
Its wet in the street
Reflecting the lights and splashing feet,
Nowhere to go,
And nothing I have to do, have to do.

It's raining again,
I follow the christmas lights down town.
I'm leaving the flow
Of people walking all around,
Round and round.

I hear the sound of rain falling in my ears
Washing away the weariness like tears.
I can feel my troubles running down,
Disappear into the silent sound.

Just walking along,
My clothes are soaked right through to the skin,
I haven't a doubt, that this is what life is all about,
The sun and the rain.
Scraps of paper washing down the drain.

I feel the rain falling on my face
I can say there is no better place
Than standing up in the falling down
In so much rain I could almost drown.

Its raining again
A crack in the clouds reveals blue skies
I've been feeling so low
But now everything is on my side
The sun and the rain.
Walk with me fill my heart again.

I hear the rain falling in my ears
Washing away the weariness like tears.
I can feel my troubles running down,
Disappear into the silent sound.

I feel the rain falling on my face
I can say there is no better place
Than standing up in the falling down
In so much rain I could almost drown.

Do de do do de do do do
Do de do de do de do do do"


Yes, I was listening to that song as I walked through the rain..

  1. Admittedly, I like it to rain because I like to see it on the radar on the weather website. But the downside is that rain makes me depressed. I can't win.

  2. Being inside when it's raining and looking out it can br a bit disheartening, but then I also find it being too sunny to be depressing.
