Rain falls out (s.a.d.*)

. . .

The style of this song will be similar to "The Civil Wars" song called "Falling" (below); but maintaining a stronger minor key.
Other styles considered are Appalachian Mountain song style or Louisiana "Black & Blues."

EDIT: OK, the John Prine song "Angel From Montgomery" (posted below) is very close in beat, style, and moodiness to "Rain Falls Out."


RAIN FALLS OUT (S.A.D.*)


The rain falls out
Each end-of-the-year.
Spring said, “Adieu.”
Summer’s disappeared.

Third-week September
Rain starts to fall.
October clouds weep
Most of all.

[Refrain]
The rain falls out
Smothering the year,
Pouring out buckets
And more, I fear.

The rain falls out,
Soaks Mama’s clean sheets.
Almost lost my breath
... For keeps.

The rain falls out,
Soaks Mama’s clean sheets.
Almost lost my breath
... For keeps.

[Refrain]
The rain falls out
Smothering the year,
Pouring out buckets
And more, I fear

Storms are gone
By the end-of-November.
Why does this happen?
Can’t remember.

Storms are gone
By the end-of-November!

Opps,don't have a printer,so I rely on my memory.Either month IT WORKS!!

FAN-TAStic Ms. Frankie J.! I've listened to a couple of Civil War's songs, and yeah I think that kind of style could work great for these lyrics. Wish I could say more, but I'm late for work and I gotta run!

Frankie!! i almost missed this coming and going so much! i mean both online and offline...
This is great and i love it that you decided to make it a song, bcs i think (for sure) that it deserves to be set to music. No matter what style or genre i know that it can a great song. Thank you for sharing this bcs i know that it has personal meaning and it's not just smth off the wall, so to speak. I love it!

Many thanks to each of you for being my supporters, helpers, and for your kind words! I really appreciate it.

Hi F. J., congratulations for your rainy lyrics, I imagined it not so fast as the lyrics for "Jaques Cousteau", but so melodic and slow as the songs you recommended us, hope that the rain refresh a little the heat of the last days you were suffering for the strong and heavy sun, (specially if is "pouring out buckets").

in the last week we had in México so sunny days, but not compared with Kentucky, we still can bear it easily.
Gracias amiga F. J.
