Didn't It Rain

It rained 40 days, 40 nights without stopping
Noah was glad when the rain stopped dropping
Knocked at the windows, knocked at the doors
Cried Noah, "Can yous have no more?"

Noah cried, "No, I'm full of sin
My Lord's got the key, and I can't arrive"
Only mind to the rain, just mind to the rain
All day, all night, all dark, all 24-hour interval

Didn't it, rain children, rain all night long
Didn't it, didn't it, oh my Lord
Didn't it pelting

God sent a raven to spread the news
Hoist his wings and away he flew
To the north, to the south, to the east, to the due west
Some crying, some moaning, some moaning, some praying

Just heed to the rain, heed to the pelting
All solar day, all night. All nighttime, all day
Didn't it, rain children, pelting all night long
Didn't it, didn't it, oh my Lord
Oh didn't information technology rain

You can run but yous can't hibernate
The river rises college and higher
Tears falling from heaven's eyes
Mountains like dust in the vault of the sky

God gave Noah the rainbow sign, said
"No more water, fire next time"
Listen to the pelting, Simply listen to the rain
All day, all nighttime, all night, all day
Just listen to the rain, just listen to the rain

David looked up in the oestrus of the mean solar day
Tuned his harp and began to play
All day, all night, all night, all day
Heed to the rain, merely listen to the rain
Some crying, some moaning, some moaning , some praying
Said listen to the rain, but listen to the pelting
Said listen to the rain, listen to the rain
All mean solar day, all night, all dark, all dark

Didn't it, rain children, rain all night long
Didn't it, didn't it, oh my Lord
Oh didn't information technology rain.

Rescue Me

Been gone for and then long
I had to be so strong
Sometimes I find
I only don't know which style to go
But the wheels curl on and on

Then I meet your smile and
I forget for awhile
Those days are so almost
I won't drown in these tears
If you come and rescue me

Come up rescue me
I'm falling fast and free
I'thousand running downwardly
Like a river to the sea

Practise you recollect when
The willow trees would bend
When fourth dimension began
The stars would fall
And we would stand
Stand to meet the dawn

I own't also proud to encounter
Your love has gear up me gratis
How could this exist
So thankful for you baby
Come up and rescue me

Come rescue me
I'm falling fast and free
I'm running down
Similar a river to the sea

Skillful News

Said my baby's comin' abode tomorrow
Ain't that good news, yeah ain't that news
My baby'southward comin' abode tomorrow
Ain't that news, yes ain't that news

Got a letter just the other day
Telling me he was on his fashion
And he wants me to meet him at the station
Ain't that good news, aye ain't that news

In the letter he told me he loved me
Ain't that adept news, yeah ain't that news
In the letter he told me he loved me
Ain't that news, aye ain't that news

He said he'south sad that he left
Found out he don't want nobody else
Said he wants me all to himself
Ain't that good news, yeah own't that news

Good news, ain't that good news
Yep, own't that news
My baby's coming home tomorrow,
Own't that good news, ain't that news

Gonna have him a party at the station
Ain't that skillful news, ain't that news
Gonna have him a party at the station
Own't that news, yeah own't that news

I tin can't look to go him home
Where we can be lonely
Disconnect the telephone
Ain't that adept news, yeah own't that news

[Chorus]

Deep Water

Come stay by me
And together we'll be
In the shadows of the alpine tall pines

I'll get together you in
And together we'll swim
The deep waters in your blue blue eyes

Downwardly in the deepWhere it's silent and withal
And a longing's fulfilled
And merely our honey remains

Down we'll go
In the sweetness undertoe
Deep waters of you and me

I'll meet you there
And a moment nosotros'll share
In the shadows of the tall alpine pines

But I can't let you in
For no one tin swim
The troubled waters in my blue blueish eyes

Downwards in the deep
Where the eye's unfulfilled
And silence can kill
And merely my sorrow remains

Down we'll become
In the steep undertoe
Deep waters of yous and me

Never to know
The beloved lost below
Deep waters of y'all and me

Spend Our Last Dime

Kind friends gather round me
Heighten up your glass
As the dominicus cuts a path cross the heaven
Fourth dimension passes slowly or it goes by too fast
And tomorrow nosotros're gonna spend our final dime

Take down the fiddle
Rosin upward the bow
Roll back the rug one more time
Play me the best country waltz that you know
'Crusade tomorrow we're gonna spend our last dime

Flit through the hallways of grief and despair
Shake off the sorrows of a hard empty year
Tell me that you love me so dear
And tomorrow we're gonna spend our terminal dime

[Repeat offset poetry, repeat chorus]

Sky'southward Falling

I lay downward on your pillow
I lay downwards my weary head
Lately I've learned to worry
Every bit I watch you learning how to forget

Run into the sign in the window
Everything, information technology must become
Why can't I believe
All of the things I should know, I should know

Sky's falling baby, it's falling downwardly
Don't give upwards baby, got to turn it around

Come across me out in the garden
In the sweet summer shade
We've got nothing just the dejection to lose
And nada but globe to save

Sky'south falling baby, it'south falling downward
Don't surrender baby, got to turn it around
Heaven's falling baby, it's falling down
Don't give up baby, got to plow it around

Gentling Me

You passed right through me
Walked off with your back to the wind
Moved out with the morning
Left me alone in my pare

There'south a hole where I held you
And a hunger I've run from for years
The burn of my anger that scared you
Has turned into tears

Gentling me, gentling me
I lost information technology all, and that set me gratis
Cast out and scorned, simply somehow reborn
Sorrow and grief
They are gentling me

Peering out windows
At a world spinning violent and mean
Delicate like children
Hiding but easily seen

Both of united states wounded
Carelessly damaged for life
Just kindness can salve us
Only love can make information technology experience right

Gentling me, gentling me
Facing the truth, down on my knees
My optics to the heaven, learning to cry
Sorrow and grief
They are gentling me

My heart has travelled then many seasons of pain
My dreams unravelled, but the reasons I dear you remain

Gentling me, gentling me
Lay downward my arms, surrender in peace
My fury transformed, my hard edges worn
Sorrow and grief, they are gentling me
Sorrow and grief, they are gentling me

Roll Away

Rolling mountains, rolling sand
Rolling south, Rio Grande
Sunlight ripples like a sail
Burning off the vapor trails

See the wildflowers passing by
Spilling underneath the power lines
Washes equally out as yous get
Same old faces, aforementioned old road

Roll away
Like the night before the break of day
A passing moment nosotros tried to save
Just rolls away

Words of welcome, words from home
Silence on the telephone
Buckled up, nowhere to go
In a crowd, and I'm all lone

Out the window way upwards high
Glimmering against the sky
Something I saw in dream
Waits downwardly the route for me

Roll abroad
Roll away
All the things that we wanted to say
But roll away

Roll away, roll abroad

Sing To Me

Sing to me
Let your voice come down
And conduct me through this silent trouble

I cannot see the angels by my side
Sing, sing to me
Sing, sing to me

Voices resound
And love comes back around

Go along me most to your tune
And allow me hear all the notes gliding
I can feel my heart beat back in fourth dimension
Keep, keep me near
Keep, keep me near

Voices resound
And dearest comes back around

Sing to me
Permit your drums call out
And carry me through this silent trouble

I cannot run into the angels by my side
Sing, sing to me
Sing, sing to me

Roll The Stone

JD Riley, what volition you lot practise
Read your letter through and through
And information technology don't say much, what you got in listen
How long, how long 'til you'll exist mine

And all I got, is a memory
Your keen blue eyes burned a hole in me
Left me hither, a footling besides long
So long, so long at present you're gone

Stand, Stand tall
Observe your way to my front door
So pitiful and all alone,
Scroll roll roll this stone
Gotta Curlicue this rock

Every night there's a railroad train through town
Tired of hearing that lonesome sound
One of these days, I may have to know
How far, how far does this train go

Stand, Stand up tall
Observe your manner to my forepart door
So sorry and all alone,
roll roll roll the rock
Yeah I gotta roll the stone

JD Riley, what volition yous exercise
Read your letter through and through
And it don't say much, what you got in mind
How long, how long 'til you'll be mine

Rut Lightning

I can experience it in the air
Electricity is everywhere
Heavy clouds, no rain
I can feel the thunder on my window hurting

Heat Lightning
Estrus Lightning

Current of air is whippin', in the copse
My head is dizzy, weak in the knees
Only when I idea the coast was clear
Well information technology knocks me off my feet and information technology's buzzing in my ear

Heat lightning
Heat lightning

I can experience it everywhere
I can see it in the air
I can hear it  knocking at my door
Well there's fire in the sky and the heavens start to roar

Heat lightning
Estrus lightning

Wild Daughter

I'grand in the loftier woods
Where snow is falling down
Memories of Georgia
Where you laid your dreams in the ground

Run Wild Daughter run
Into your setting sunday
Find the road that takes you far abroad

Smoke in the sycamores
Words scratched in stone
Picture left by a window
Yearning left unknown

Run Wild Daughter run
Into your setting lord's day
Find the road, the route that takes you far away

All alone in the darkest night
Were you scared did y'all take flight
Did an angel lift you high above
Were you rescued, were you loved

If I could, if I could
If I could, if I could
If I could, if I could
I'd Trace a trail to you

All the roads lead to the city
All the rivers pb to the sea
May the stars atomic number 82 yous to glory
Running wild and free

Run Wild Girl run
Into your setting sun
Discover the route that takes yous far awa
