Smells Like Rain

Softly you sing, tuck your dream inside my heart
It smells like rain... softens the pain.
And it sways sweetly, floats endlessly, a leaf
Caught inside of breathlessness.
It's a song you hum lingering on lazy as your
Eyes are closing and it seems to say, yes it
Smells like rain.
Softly you sing, tuck your heart inside my dream
It smells like rain... softens the pain.
It's a song you know by heart, a breath, an ache
A pebble skipping across the water.

Yes...it smells like rain.

City of Sweet

blues lane harmonica solo, she sang it’s not that
way, not the kind of night that’ll keep her warm
into tomorrow.
she could hear saint lovin’ potential in that
sweet misty-eyed music the tune that takes your
heart and pushes to the lonesome avenue of beds
spilled over with sweet smells.
she walked through the hungry night with her pale
and lonely song, not the kind song that would keep
her warm into tomorrow. she’s got nothing but
broken hearted sorrow in a city of sweet.
blues lane harmonica solo she sang it’s not that
way, not the kind of night that’ll keep her warm
into tomorrow.

blues lane harmonica solo...

Rain

When the rain falls it falls hard, falls
slow, falls softly.
When the rain comes it pushes me to
regret, pushes me behind and it
washes me blind.
When the sun shines it shines bright,
shines the darkness harsh and all
there is here isn't all light.
When the sun comes it causes all to
shadow, takes the moon captive
breaks open and cries.
When nothing comes around, it
pushes me down, the earth spins me
'round, the sand smothers sound.
The rain and sun chains a necklace
across the sky and I'm breathing just
to die.

When the rain falls, I won't be found.

Meadow Sweet Blues

Shhh... nobody knows yet, not even you
Come here baby you know what to do
I’m a rock-a-bye lady who has to pretend.

When the night comes it comes so cold
Into our hearts it goes
When the day wakes under the snow
Into our dreams it melts
Leaves behind a song sweet, nobody knows

Come on now give me that kiss, time's so
Damn short there’s no time to miss
Hold me, let me pretend.... this is the
Beginning it isn’t the end.

When the night comes it comes so cold
Into our hearts it goes
When the day wakes under the snow
Into our dreams it melts
Leaves behind a song sweet, nobody knows.
