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
