[Verse 1] Woke up to the drumming on the tin Grey sky letting the morning in Silver streaks on the window pane Washing the dust off the narrow lane The earth is drinking, the soil is dark Dampness settling on the cedar bark. [Chorus] Rainy days are here again The sky is open, the rivers bend Rainy days are here again Cooling the earth where the heat has been. [Verse 2] Bare feet stepping in a shallow pool The morning air is soft and cool Mist is hugging the mountain side Nowhere for the green to hide The garden’s breathing, the leaves are bright Replacing the glare with a softer light. [Bridge] The thunder rolls like a heavy stone A quiet peace that I call my own Shadows stretching, the world is still Water running down every hill. [Chorus] Rainy days are here again The sky is open, the rivers bend Rainy days are here again Cooling the earth where the heat has been. [Verse 3] The kettle whistling a steady tune In the middle of the afternoon Curtains drawn against the damp and grey Keeping the world a mile away Steam rising up from a ceramic cup While the shadows and the silence fill it up. [Bridge 2] The scent of cedar and old floorboards Matches the hum that the roof records Incense curling in the corner high Underneath a heavy, leaking sky No reason to move, no reason to go Just watching the window's steady show. [Outro] Blanket on my shoulder... Wait for the weather to get older... Safe from the storm... Just stay warm.
