Lyrics
Rain on the Sills
Music and lyrics written by Jay Matthes
First verse:
I watched the green grass dance in the sun
from the shade of an oak when the day's work was done
I felt the chill of a westerly wind
I was miles from home when the storm clouds rolled in
Chorus:
The horses they run along the barbwire
The foxes they move through the field
They say no one knows which way the wind will blow
but sometimes I feel like the only one who don't
Second verse:
I walked in wet and I looked 'round the room
Half-open windows and curtains in bloom
The front had pushed forward on over the hill
Left my things on the floor and rain on the sills
(Chorus)
(Solo)
(Chorus)
