Occaisional Rain

"There was rain today
And crystal blue was hidden by a cloudy gray
A sudden shower come to chase the sun away
Occasional rain

Damn the weatherman
He seems to work against me any way he can
And he’s been dealing tear-drops since the world began
And occasional pain

And blue you, don’t believe I’m talking to you
The light is shining through you- still you will not see
Blue you- think I’m trying to undo you
When I only want to seek the Truth

And speak true
I can’t tell you when
But someday soon we’ll see the sun re-born again
And there’ll be light without as well as light within
And occasional rain"

Terry Callier 1972

Whenever I listen to Terry Callier's older music, I feel like I'm transported back in time for some reason. His newer music inspires me to want more of myself, my people & my love. If you are not up on him & like old soul/folksy type music, check him out. If you are a house fan, he has some pretty cool remixes out there. iTunes Boo!

  • I love these lyrics. Totally checking Terry C out. For some reason, speaking of weather, I am reminded of these lyrics...

    "hot like hot wings with hot chocolate in hell
    cold like in my isolation cell
    in the winter
    while kissing mr. freeze
    take the weather man
    and throw him away
    love is a desert and i need it to rain
    you are so good at keeping me company"

    -Macy Gray

    Blessings...

  • Byg,

    Stopping by once again to invite you over to my latest post. I consider you the newest part of my "collection." While I don't know your personal love story, I sense in you a kindred spirit.

    Your creativity and passion come from some place that dances with other creative souls.

    Blessings, my friend.
