Rain from Dust Anyway by Ten Spiders
Trees need rain. I like rain. In the Pacific Northwest, after 3 months of long, sunny summer days, I get to slow down a little when the rains come and settle in for 9 months of it. Always feels good to this songwriter.

Lyrics
When the rain came
I finally had something to say
As if the blame
were wholly on the sun to be laid
As if the same
could be said of the longest day
I guess when the sky, pours out its heart
I just like it better that way
Liberation, from the rays that stubbornly lit
My fascination, with the complexly infinite
Jubilation, now’s the time to be deliberate
I guess when the sky, pours out its heart
Joy flows from that which was rigid
I’m ready, I’m ready, I’m ready for the rain
I’m ready, I’m ready, I’m ready for the rain
When the rain comes
I can’t see what you whine about
As the green sums
and leaves receive what they’ve gone without
Don’t be so numb
to the force of beauty and life all around
I guess when the sky, pours out its heart
I wanna welcome it with a joyous shout
I wanna welcome it with a joyous shout
I wanna welcome it with a joyous shout
