Sweet spring rain, come again, come again
'Til the fire in the mountains burns low
Sweet spring rain, come again, come again
To the shadow of the hills I know
Oh rain, wash my sorrow down your rivers
Carry it out to the sea
Bathe my heart in your tides of salt and brine
And carry it back to me
Sweet spring rain, come again, come again
'Til the fire in the mountains burns low
Sweet spring rain, come again, come again
To the shadow of the hills I know
Oh rain, break my fury like the flame
Shatter my wrath and my rue
Turn these ashes deep into the earth
And grow from them something new
Sweet spring rain, come again, come again
'Til the fire in the mountains burns low
Sweet spring rain, come again, come again
To the shadow of the hills I know
Oh rain, come down upon my altar
Bless this hidden heart of mine
Feed these joys as they sleep beneath the earth
And grow them like flowers on the vine
Sweet spring rain, come again, come again
'Til the fire in the mountains burns low
Sweet spring rain, come again, come again
To the shadow of the hills I know
Sweet spring rain, come again, come again
'Til the fire in the mountains burns low
Sweet spring rain, come again, come again
To the shadow of the hills I know

I want to make of my music keys to hidden, secret places in the human heart, and the heart of the world. Bard, harper, changeling. The song in my heart honors both oak and thorn.
