Rainy Day Song

Sometimes I recall nothing at all

But the patter pelt sounds of rain coming down

On the windows outside of my parents' house

When I was a boy in a rainy port town

And you know that it's true

When I was walking from school in the rain

And I was maybe 7 or 8

I splashed in the puddles and played with wet dogs

Chased ducks, hide and seek in the fog

And I know those days are gone

And you know that my mom

She said take off your shoes at the door

You'll have wet dogs and puddles no more

You'll bathe and put on a clean change of clothes

I'm sure that you'll catch your death of cold

But then I didn't die

So it came to be

That I was supposed to keep my feet clean

And dry when rainy days coming were seen

Mom said you'll walk straight to school and then

You'll walk straight home after again

But some things you can't deny

So even today

When I'm walking around in the rain

And I've got somewhere warm to stay

I'll splash in the puddles and play with wet dogs

Chase ducks play hide and seek in the fog

And those days will never die
