Below is an excerpt from this new Edition of “Tempo – The Rhythm and Rhyme of the Artist”™. Enjoy!
Parched
When I am in the city
I never hear a plane
My mind drowns out the extra noise
Like my heart drowns out your name
When rain fell ev’ry winter
No drip or drop was heard
My ears didn’t measure rain’s sound
I didn’t treasure your words
Now we’re in a long drought
I’m missing the rain almost as much as I miss you
A no lie cloudless sky
My mistakes in clear view
I’m so parched for love
You’re the one I’m thinking of
I can’t grow without you
Let the torrents of heaven run free
Rain on me
I can’t blame you, only me
For my sorry, scorched heart
I didn’t forecast all the pain
That comes from being apart
Hope I hear and feel rain again
Hope to be with you too
Miss dancing in rolling thunder
Loving you with all its wonder
I’m so parched for love
You’re the one I’m thinking of
I can’t grow without you
Let the torrents of heaven run free
Rain on me
Here’s wishing you
Missing you
Rain
Rain on me
