Far off thunder summons the rain,
To soothe dry earth and restless heart.
Pelting drops of music sing to me again,
Sleepy lullaby to those who sigh awake...

Liquid lyrics as ocean waves so calm,
Each raindrop sings a hypnotic song.
Bringing images of island beaches and dripping palm,
Adrift am I in my slumbering canoe...

Tomorrow may bring high tide to ships in port,
Somewhere flowers will bloom like diamonds,
Like ladies in waiting in some royal court,
And children will frolic in playgrounds of mud...

But tonight I drift off, pen in hand no more,
Upon my tin roof drops fall and splatter,
I sail off in my ship to some far off distant shore,
On this rainy night nothing else really matters...
