I Am the Rain

I Am the Rain - Peter Doherty

I am the rain

Held in disdain

Lotions and potions jut add to my fame

The rime that in spain

Fall on the plain

The truth is I'm ruthless

I can't be contained

I'm the rain

My friend the wind

To breath he is twinned

Blow high or low high

Tornadoes to spin

My mother the cloud

In widow's black shroud

Gives birth to the earth

Before fields can be plowed

Up in the sky we've demand to supply

I am necessity base of the recipe

I am the rain

My cousin the snow

Lays blankets below

States that her flakes

Are the threads to the soul

My rival the sun

Who ripens the plum

Is feared and revered

He gives sight to the gun

Up in the sky we've demand to supply

I am necessity base of the recipe

Up in the sky we've demand to supply

I am necessity base of the recipe

I am the rain I am the rain

I am the rain who's held in disdain

The truth is I'm ruthless I can't be contained
