Rain and Thunder

(Kirk McLeod)

Some twenty days ago I left my family and my home

I buried everything I knew and swam an ocean here to you

Said goodbye to my old friends, swore our friendships wouldn't end

But nothing anyone could do could ever bring me back again

And I've got to make it to the river

And I've got to make it to the sea

And I need to do whatever

It takes to, to be free

A couple nights ago I had a dream I didn't know

People, places, and the scenes all of which I'd yet to see

We were running through a field of grasses high up to the knee

Men on horseback shouting with their guns out pointing straight at me

And I've got to make it to the river

And I've got to make it to the sea

I need to do whatever

It takes to, to be free

And I wake at night an' wonder

How to, how to break out of this dream, yeah-ah

Just like rain and thunder

The morning comes to me

So many nights have passed me since I heard a thunder's blast

Or felt the rain and winter running at the wrap around my back

Still these dreams they keep returning sifting through this midnight's mask

Of silence deafening my ears, a meaning which I've yet to ask

And I've got to make it to the river

And I've got to make it to the sea

And I need to do whatever

It takes to, to be free

And I wake at night an' wonder

How to, how to break out of this dream, yeah-ah

Just like rain and thunder

The morning comes to me
