Musical Mondays—Rain

It has been raining like crazy here today, and will probably continue pouring down buckets for a few days. I've been kicking around the idea of installing rain barrels to use for watering the garden. I'm pretty sure it's against the HOA rules here, though.

And a big part of me says "I don't care. My land—my rules. Thpppt!" Actually, I'm thinking more along the lines of what they don't know won't hurt them (or me). I've been casually looking for some 55-gallon, food-grade drums, preferably green (many are bright, bright blue). As long as they're not neon green, they shouldn't be too difficult to blend into the greenery around the house.

Anyhow, I'm watching it pour outside and a little stream is running through the front yard at the culvert and there's just so much water that the sprinkler system relief/overflow valve is spewing water and the system isn't even turned on!

So yeah, we're in for a wet one this week. It's making me wish we had gone to the grocery store yesterday instead of taking a lazy day. In our defense, we had planned to go to the zoo and pick up groceries on the way home, but it was forecast to rain buckets yesterday, so we stayed home. Unfortunately/fortunately, the rain didn't show up until today.

Can you help me out?
Can you let me a hand?
It's safe to say that
I'm stuck again

Trapped between this life and the light
I just can't figure out
How to make it right

A thousand times before
I've wondered if there's something more
Something more...

I feel it's gonna rain like this for days
So let it rain down and wash everything away
I hope that tomorrow the sun will shine
With every tomorrow comes another life

I feel it's gonna rain
For days and days
I feel it's gonna rain

I've tried to figure out
I can't understand
What it means to be whole again

Trapped between the truth and the consequence
Nothings real
Nothings making sense

A thousand times before
I've wondered if there's something more
Something more...

I feel it's gonna rain like this for days
So let it rain down and wash everything away
I hope that tomorrow the sun will shine
I feel it's gonna rain like this
Rain like this
Rain like this

Fall down
Wash away my yesterdays
Fall down
So let the rain fall down on me

I feel it's gonna rain like this for days
Let it rain down and wash everything away
I hope that tomorrow the sun will shine
I feel it's gonna rain like this
Rain like this
Rain like this
(So let the rain fall down)

I feel it's gonna rain like this
Rain like this
(So let the rain fall down)

I feel it's gonna rain like this
I feel it's gonna rain...
