The Rain Dance

Waken by the gentle tapping on the tin
tap, tap
tap, tap
it was my long lost friend
The rain
asking me to come out and play

where have you been Mr. Hobo
I haven't seen you since you were a kid

I closed my eyes
tried to go back to sleep
and just ignore my old friend
but he was very persistent
tap, tap
tap, tap

with every tap I could hear him say
Mr. Hobo get up it's time to play

as I kept tossing and turning
I finally realizing I could not win
so I bought in

I grabbed my shorts and shoes
with child like glee
I jumped in my car
and drove to the park

I quickly threw off my shoes and my shirt
Stretched my arms out
Tilted my head to the sky
And let the rain
Take away all the dry

Every drop was like liquid ice
Sending a cold chill down my spine
Clear down to my toes
Purging my burdens
Cleansing my soul

Thank you Mr. Rain
For being such a good friend
I hope I don't wait another 30 years
To see you again
