by Simbo Rumblebelly The sun above, with fiery glow Has warmed this land that lies below In summer time, all baked in heat The ground it burns beneath our feet A land of green fades slow to brown As scorching heat comes beating down Too hot to rest, or sleep at night From heat that never gives respite But when above there forms a cloud It spreads around its cooling shroud The air is moist, and drips appears The sky has brought its welcome tears For comes the rains to cleanse our lands And wash the dryness from our hands To cool your brow, and chill your feet The summer rains that taste so sweet The gardens gleam in rainbow hues The flowers feed on silver dew And meadows sparkle, diamond lights For spots of rain all twinkle bright Now jump in puddles with a splash Or slide about on slippery grass Just feel the drizzle in your hair And run about without a care Oh, summer rain, come fall on me To quench the heat and make us free To lose ourselves in summer showers Come let the rain drops fall for hours Refresh yourself with tender spray Enjoy the summer's rainy days Each little drop of rain that falls In summertime, gives life to all |
