c. Fall 1999. Written in the shadows of old mountains and by light of the moon and sun while walking back and forth on a gravel path from where I slept to where I worked in Hillsboro, WV

lyrics

There has been rain, but it’s passing over,
where there are clouds, there will be blue skies.
There has been rain, but it’s passing over.
Make this your refrain: there will be blue skies.

The sun is only sleeping: she’d forgotten to wake.
Soon she’ll come out sheepishly, eager to share the dreams she has made.
(refrain)

The storm was only playing, soon he’ll go back inside
To have apple tea and tangerines while the day passes by.
(refrain)

The clouds were just pretending, playing tricks with your eyes,
and soon they’ll be home mending, sewing their silver linings.
(refrain, past tense)
