Lyrics
Living rain; falls from the sky around me
Striking on a memory sliding off the window pane
I'm searching for the light; Pointing me back home
My tears are falling short of everything I've known.
You never met a stranger; no where where we were or when
A corner of a restaurant; the back pew of a church you'd meet a friend
A stormy evening at the shoreline, or the back bench in a bar
You'd lend your shoulder to cry on....a touch so someone could mend
Chorus: Living rain; as you shared your final breath
Living rain; shiny spirit for rebirth
The angels claimed you as ready; For the next journey for your soul
And the cleansing living waters gave us freedom thru life to roll.
Go up Living rain; as laughter merges through the mist
Rainbow shadows; coloring another earth's kiss
You know I watched you fly away; spirit reaching toward the sky
I saw behind your eyes; that final release and sigh
Break
You were often so conflicted; yet consistently adored
In the corner you'd be watching; your vibrant energy just poured
Into lost souls and urchins; sharing fragile loving bonds
Into those sometimes just wandering; Yet they rejoiced to call you home
