Tale of the Rain and the Moon

(Geoff Byrd)
From the album: "Anthology"
Let me tell you a story first told to me
By a little indian boy
Once there was a beautiful woman, the moon
Shining up in the sky

When she smiles oceans alter their tide
She is beaming tonight
As the rain fell like a sheet from the sky
She reflected the light

This is the tale of the rain and the moon
You are the moon glowing for me
The moonlight is pale and the rain will come soon
I am the rain falling for you

She was smitten with rain like right from the start
With his comforting touch
But his voice sounded like rolling thunder
He was angry so much

He was vexed by the moon and her beautiful face
And a little conversation
Rain was moody and grey but he started to warm
To her adoration

This is the tale of the rain and the moon
You are the moon glowing for me
The moonlight is pale and the rain will come soon
I am the rain falling for you

They remain lovers to this very day
Or so that’s what I’m told
Now the rain talks in a much softer way
And he’s not quite as cold

Chorus
