Dancing in the Rain (Lyrics)

Wind is rising, misty droplets

Touch my face as dark clouds loom

I am watching through the screen door

Behind me shadows fill the room

I can feel the married textures, wire mesh and monochrome

Silver trees, electric sky

Crashing now the storm has come...

But when I was a child, I went dancing in the rain

Under cloudy skies the rain came gently down

I am free - I am flying, I am dancing in the rain

With my arms thrown wide I'm spinning round & round

Trees sway back and forth like dancers

Tied to earth against their will

Rivers run beneath my window

To the street and down the hill

Ghosts are singing in the backyard

Childrens' songs of long ago

Thunder rolling, thunder drum

Forgotten days like water flow

But when I was a child, I went dancing in the rain...

Wind is waning, misty droplets

Touch my face as dark clouds pass

I am watching from the screen door

Peace to evening comes at last

Rivers run beneath my window

To the street and down the hill

I take my coat and my umbrella

And walk into the night grown still

But when I was a child, I went dancing in the rain...
