About This Song:
If I have any songs that are “hits” this has to be one of them. I lived in a Victorian house that had tin sheeting on top of the old shingles. My office was up in the attic. When it rained you knew it was raining. I’m kind of hoping we get a little rain today because the plants need it! :o)
Rain On A Tin Roof
Song #101 | April 1988 | Recorded Spring 2022
Lull me to sleep like a warm Spring rain
on a tin roof darling
Rise and shine to the clean dawn tune
of the Robins and Starlings
I’m getting that feeling like I’m gonna want
to live forever
And I’d kind of like to know
If we could spend that time together…
Refrain:(X2)
Hey oh, Hey ah
Hey oh, Hey ah
Hey oh, Hey ah
I want to dream with you
Like a rock, like a roll, like a river ride
Can’t you see that being with you
Is something rarefied?
You are the distant jet plane
Flash of light across dark skies
You are the wind of my love
You are the sight of my eyes
Refrain:
I was gonna bring you bacon and eggs
and English Muffins in bed
But I started singing in the shower
So I wrote this song for you instead
Hope you don’t mind but singing about you
Makes me feel so fine
And the rain on the tin roof
Drums along and hums along in time
Refrain:
