Last night while we were walking,
It hit me why I came;
Contact does all the talking
And you and I are virtually the same.
Here's something new
Might take some getting used to.
Me being you might definitely
Take some getting used to.
You pick my favorite color
I play your favorite game.
We matched our moods to music,
Listened for our cues
Then it rained.
Yeah it nearly washed our walk assunder.
How it rained
I almost slipped in shelter to hide under.
It rained...it rained.
But it drip dropped down
With such a rhythmic sound,
What was a stormy plain
Became the sounding ground
Where you and I could play with rain.
We marched to measures
Marked by thunder.
We played with rain
Like second nature was conductor.
The cacophony of moments
Resound plainly
If you play with rain.
The music takes a little getting used to,
But the song's the same;
You hum a human tune,
Whistle in the wind
And play with rain
