歌詞

The afternoon got quiet

The way it does before

The sky's been stacking silver plates

Above the garden wall

The maple turns its leaves around

To catch what's going to fall

And there — one fat and friendly drop

Taps once upon the path

The rain comes down from heaven

And doesn't come back dry

A summer shower's on its way

And so, come in, am I

The air smells green and generous

The birds have all gone still

One drop becomes a dozen drops

Rehearsing on the sill

The first cool gust runs through the yard

Like news from door to door

The rain comes down from heaven

And doesn't come back dry

A summer shower's on its way

And so, come in, am I

I love this minute best of all

The world holds in its breath

The kettle's filled, the window's cracked

The afternoon says yes

Mmm... mmm... mmm

The rain comes down from heaven

And doesn't come back dry

A summer shower's on its way

And so, come in, am I

The rain comes down from heaven

And doesn't come back dry

A summer shower's on its way

And so, come in, am I

The afternoon got quiet

And then the rain said hello
