[Intro]
[Rain Sounds]
Drip drop
(Non-stop)
Tap tap
(On the glass)
Watching weather wander by
(Hoping this one lasts)
[Verse 1]
Months we waited for a cloud
(The fields were turning brown)
Every day the ground grew harder
(Cracking all around)
Now the gutters overflow
(And creeks begin to rise)
Funny how relief arrives
(In a different disguise)
[Chorus]
Is it good
(Or is it bad)
Rain on the windowpane
Helps grow would
(After the drought we’ve had)
Rain on the windowpane
[Refrain]
Whiplash
(Mad dash)
Whiplash
(Run, run, run)
The dry is done
(Only battle won)
[Verse 2]
Grass turns green in just a week
(What a welcome sight)
But the river’s climbing fast
(Day and night)
What we prayed for yesterday
(Become way too much)
Nature doesn’t always play
(With a gentle touch)
[Chorus]
Is it good
(Or is it bad)
Rain on the windowpane
Helps grow would
(After the drought we’ve had)
Rain on the windowpane
[Refrain]
Whiplash
(Mad dash)
Whiplash
(Run, run, run)
The dry is done
(But, the war’s not won)
[Bridge]
[Piano and Organ]
Too little
(Too long)
Too much
(All at once)
Swinging from one side to another
(Like a pendulum run wild)
One extreme
(Feeds the next)
A climate learning
(New tricks)
[Instrumental]
[Electric Guitar Solo]
[Rain Percussion Effects]
[Verse 3]
Looking through the window glass
(Watching drops combine)
Tiny streams become a river
(One line at a time)
The storm contains a lesson
(If we’re willing to see)
Balance isn’t what it was
(Or what it used to be)
[Final Chorus]
Is it good
(Or is it bad)
Rain on the windowpane
A blessing and a warning
(All wrapped up the same)
Rain on the windowpane
[Extended Refrain]
Whiplash
(Mad dash)
Whiplash
(Run, run, run)
The dry is done
(Was the battle won?)
The war was lost
(And, at what cost)
Drought next
(What’s to come?)
Run, run, run
(From the setting sun)
[Outro]
[Rain Sounds, Acoustic Guitar]
Drip drop
(Non-stop)
Tap tap
(On the glass)
Watching weather wander by
(Hoping balance lasts)
[Rain Fades]
[Silence]
