April Rain
Mystic Roots Lyrics

January winter brings the cold on me,
The beginning of the year brings with it a sense of coldness and desolation.

Febuary breezes blow my worries to sea,
As the year progresses, I find some respite from my problems in the gusting winds of February.

And March brings memories remembering pain,
But then I am reminded of my past afflictions when March arrives.

But April sweet April, you only bring rain,
Despite everything, April comes with the promise of rain that nourishes and renews the land.

Rain upon my head and rain into my soul,
This rain is so important to me that it reaches almost spiritual significance.

Feel it in my reggae rhythm rock n' roll.
So much so, that it even infuses itself into my music and my soulful dance moves.

And I know that you've been sent from above,
I believe that this April rain is a heavenly gift.

Cause you are my baby, my angel, my love,
I love this rain so much that I personify it as someone dear to me.

You make it wet, April rain,
April rain has the power to bring life, and in turn, sensual pleasure.

Let your rain come down on me,
I am willing to be enveloped by this rain, both physically and metaphorically.

Down upon my head and down onto my heart.
The rain brings me comfort and quenches the thirst of my spirit.

They say that I'm the devil and I tear you apart,
Despite my reputation, I know that this rain is a gift to me.

But I know your my angel sent from up in the skies,
I am convinced that this rain is an act of divine intervention.

With rain drops like tear drops that fall from your eyes,
The power of April rain is such that it feels like it is not just replenishing the earth, but crying for it too.

I know I'm itchin' everytime ya holdin me,
Whenever I am touched by the rain, I feel an itch of pleasure.

I'm wrapped deep inside you where you want me to be.
I am one with the rain and it takes me where it wishes me to be.

Every now and then and again I'm without you,
However, there are times when the rain does not come and I am left without it.

I find that my mind's steady thinking about you,
During these droughts, I can only think about and long for the rain.

And the way that you move, the way that you groove,
I am so entranced by the qualities of the rain that I attribute human characteristics to it.

Your body slowly, softly can't get off me,
The cleansing, almost sensual quality of the rain is something that stays with me, even after it has passed.

When I'm near and when I'm not I feel I got to be,
Being near the rain, or even just in its presence, makes me feel alive and connected to the world.

I used to be a player what the hell ya done to me,
Such is the power of the rain, that it has the ability to change me and my ways.

Now look at me with my hand behind my back,
I am almost subservient to the rain's power and control.

Ringing your doorbell wondering if you like how I look in black,
The rain is so important to me that I am willing to do anything to have it.

And when I finally see you are blessed with your grace,
When the rain finally comes, I am filled with a sense of gratefulness and peace.

With roses in my hands, tulips on my face,
I am so overcome with emotion that I express myself in the form of flowers.

For a hug I'd wait a minute, for a kiss I'd wait an hour,
The rain is so valuable to me that I am willing to wait for it, no matter how long.

But making me wait will just increase my force of power.
In fact, delaying me only makes my need for the rain stronger.

And when I finally see you Im'a love you all over,
When the rain finally comes, I am filled with such joy that it is as if I am embracing it with all my heart.

Lick your belly button and massage ya shoulders,
The rain is so sensuous and an expression of my love that I am willing to reach for new ways to appreciate it.

Love ya baby buddy I'll even be ya friend,
To me, the rain is a lover, a friend, and everything in between.

Now I know your lovin' is the source of my dreams,
The rain is a source of such joy for me that it becomes an important part of my subconscious and dreams.

Like strawberries, rasberry, peaches and cream,
When the rain finally comes, it is like tasting the sweetest and most delicious combination of fruits and cream.

Let your rain come, baby let your rain come,
The rain is one of the most precious things to me and I cannot allow it to pass me by.

Baby let your rain come down,
I long for the rain to come and make me whole again.

baby let your rain come down,
The rain, like a nurturing mother, will take care of me and make everything right again.

Baby let your rain come down,
I am so intoxicated by the rain's power that I cannot resist it.

down, down, down, down, down, down, down.
The rain falls relentlessly, and each time it does, it brings me closer to my true self.
