Raindrops (Neverending Journeys) by Gloria Buono-Daly (c) 2024

[Verse 1]     

Raindrops sleepin’ in a cloud,
Dreamin’ soft but talkin’ loud.
Breathin’ deep that ocean air,
Takin’ salt and ridin’ there.  

[Pre-Chorus 1] (Soft, airy, reflective)

They gather slow, they hold their place,
Waitin’ high for time and space.

[Chorus 1]
Oh, they pour down, down, down,
Singin’ blues all over town.
Dancin’ taps on window panes,
Cryin’ soft like love’s old pain.
But the sun gon’ dry those tears,
Till they rise up, disappear.

[Verse 2]
Growin’ strong with winds that call,
Storms roll in, then comes the fall.
Burstin’ out with love so free,
Fallin’ down on you and me.

[Pre-Chorus 2] 

They break apart, they lose control,
Spillin’ stories, hearts unfold.

[Chorus 2 – Repeat]
Oh, they pour down, down, down,
Singin’ blues all over town.
Dancin’ light on window panes,
Cryin’ soft like love’s old pain.
But the sun gon’ dry those tears,
Till they rise up, disappear.

[Verse 3]
Feedin’ trees and kissin’ ground,
Fillin’ rivers, runnin’ round.
Washin’ sorrow, coolin’ fire,
Every drop a soul’s desire.

[Pre-Chorus 3] 

Fallin’ down, they give, they grow,
Turnin’ pain to roots below.

[Chorus 3– Repeat]
Oh, they pour down, down, bright,
Bringin’ love back into sight.
Dancin’ gold on window panes,
Singin’ songs that heal old pain.
And the sun gon’ light their way,
Till they rise up, fly away.

[Bridge] (soft, gospel-style harmonies)
Ohhh, they come and they go,
Like love driftin’ slow.
One day they fall, next day they fly,
Leavin’ rainbows in the sky.

[Outro] (soft, fading)
Mmmhmmm,
Just another raindrop day…
Raindrops wandering, never-ending,
Always finding their way back home. 
Oooohh, another raindrop day… 
Every journey leads to where it all began.
