[Intro with the sound of thunder in the background]
[Verse 1]
Rain falling on that old tin roof,
That sound to me is oh so good,
Lighting flash and a clap of thunder,
It's a cool change during summer,
While the blind starts to blow
Through that open window,
Then the smell of the rain,
Takes me back to the old days,
[Chorus with backing harmonies]
He lies awake next to you,
As he would often do,
Watching you sleep,
In the summer's heat,
Waiting for that cool change,
With the SUMMER RAIN,
The summer RAIN!!!!!!,
[Verse 2]
The humidity is on the rise,
As the clouds fill up the sky,
There's not a lot to do today,
He's done harvesting the grain,
She goes for a drive into town,
While he checks the water in the dam,
A trailer of oats and a bale of hay,
To feed the sheep and cattle today,
[Chorus with backing harmonies]
[Instrumental break]
[Bridge]
He knows that it's not much of a life,
Being a young farmer's wife,
Having to help him in the fields,
Then making up all of the meals,
Isolated from family and friends,
Will take a toll on her in the end,
But she says being here next to me,
Is the only place she wants to be,
[Chorus with backing harmonies]
[Outro with the sound of thunder]
[Fade to end with vocals]
That SUMMER RAIN,
Ohh, the SUMMER RAIN!!!!!!
