231107: Raining In Birmingham

from Leap Songs, Part 1 by James Tristan Redding

/

lyrics

A kiss from you is like a summer day
Sun's been down since you went away
This umbrella barely keeps me dry
My memory replays that blue sky

But it’s raining in Birmingham
Coming down in Topeka
The water is risin' up
Getting deeper and deeper

It’s pouring in Madison
Flooding from the dirt to the stars
And all the weatherman know
It's because that's not where you are

Walked in the dark since you been gone
How can one road stretch so long
Coat is soaking wet as are both shoes
Learning to love the rain if you want the truth
