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