Song Information:
This song is dedicated to my father, Robert A. Bouchard, who passed away this past April. I came up with the music but got tongue-tied when trying to express the words, so Kelli once again came up with the right words. I play the instruments and sing a bit, and the words and the lead vocal is Kelli.
~James
BTW, the music is inspired somewhat by the great Brazilian singer, Milton Nascimento.

Song Lyrics:
Corn
Hear the tip tap calling
on an old tin roof
smell of rain
sweet wet earth
don' be scared
it'll be over soon
Daddy say rain makes the corn grow
Feel wind pick up
watch the
clouds move in
roll of the thunder
clap of lighting
and dogs
come running
Here it comes
here it comes
here it comes
Hasn't rained this hard
since I don't know when
I last held my breath
or I held your hand
and we walked along
the old dirt road
lined with barbed wire
and wild lantana.
Daddy'd say rain makes the corn grow
better get inside
here it comes
here it comes
here it comes
Too wet work
too wet to play
watch the droplets
on the window pane
on open fields
proud and tall
make it strong
make it grow
Sweet drops
of rest
Come on, rain
pour you crazy sky.
