Summer Rain

Summer Rain I hear the first of summer rains Pounding on my window pane Farmers all are glad you came Welcome! Welcome! Summer rain Brings forth the needed harvest Work to do no time to rest From nowhere comes the summer birdlife Life anew where once was strife Don’t know where that storm came from You can’t trust that weatherman Tom Flooding o’er the new green grasses Closing all the mountain passes Destroying all the new mown hay I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again Damn the summer rain
