lyrics

When I was a child so young and so spry my next door neighbor and I believed in rain gods.You may question it and wonder why but you have never set your sights on gods with long forgotten names. One day the air was so dry and the temperature was unseasonably high.That September morning wildfires swallowed the pines and then the thick dark smoke leapt toward the sky. Tears started to run from my eyes while we believed and uttered no lies as we tried our designs on for size right there in front of the rain gods. They were quiet, absolutely silent, when we danced and chanted their names. We thought one of them was about to get violent as the gasping fires climbed and copied our dance right behind it, but suddenly against all odds we heard the thunder sound and the faithful gathered round to watch the rain stomp out the flames. When I was a child my best friend and I would often play outside in the rain. Dancing and chanting strange and unfamiliar names. They sounded so scary almost hairy or rotten. I’d repeat the names now and dance the same now, but I’m afraid it’s too late all those names are long forgotten.
