From the recording Undulating
Lyrics
Shy rain begs me to sit still and listen
Careful not to breathe too loud
Then you can hear the destiny of each drop
This one slaps a leaf
That one dances on the sidewalk
Some bounce off the porch
Onto a blade of grass
And slide down to The Happy Drinker
Such different ways to fall
And such different things to hit
The older brother laughs and teases them
Back and forth with invisible gusts
Barrump
Left right fast slow sidewalk grass gutter
Slow smart poor rich confident agoraphobic
But always it’s the same simple cycle
But always simply sky soil sky
Sky soil sky
