I wrote the poem one night in 1974. The song first came together in 1986, then was expanded and essentially re-recorded during the period of this album’s creation, with only the guitar solo and a basic keyboard track remaining from the original demo. I got somewhat carried away with my technology, and there are 267 tracks of synthesized raindrops in the background.

Rain Rain - lyrics

Rain rain, falling from the sky,

I’m the only one you see;

Made in heaven was I,

Every raindrop falls for me.

Spring air silently agrees,

Ever giving all her dew;

I care, I and all of these,

These are heavenly too.

Rain rain falling from the sky,

Sink into the ground, goodbye.
