Ooo... Pour down the rain And roll out the clouds It's funny how mercy Can knock you around I see the decades I'm tired men's eyes I know it's a mercy That's raining tonight Everyone is looking For somebody to blame Heaven sighs with heavy skies And tonight my prayer is in the rain Ooo... Most of my life Been watching these trees Marking the seasons Catching their leaves That same slow and silent changing Is evident in me Yeah, you could cut me open Read my life on rings Oh the sacred stories We're telling day-to-day Heaven sighs from heavy skies And tonight my prayer is in the rain Yeah tonight my prayer is in the rain "...is my father's world And to my listening ears All nature sings and 'round me brings The music of the spheres"
