Another Wet Echo
There’s a raindrop hammer on a skylight pane
And it’s driving me insane
This nasty weather is a constant pain
Has it always got to rain
Someone has the answer
Ask a necromancer
Could it just be something fey
I don’t know the reason
Could it be the season
What a way to end the day
I always thought that if I fought and caught at that I sought
This madness in my hammered head would hide and slip away
Slow this clatter
Change the beat
Let the storm be kind
It’s really just a human race
The rhythm’s in my mind
Running on...........
.......empty
The title's Ol' Scouse (and one of my favorites)
