lyrics

Loud Rain upon the leaves is music to a bird

But we can only hear it from the couch

The things that we believe I vouch are weird

In dryer times it is the bird itself that’s heard

The pretty feathers of the thing

Are what endears

But it may be the way I have to crouch to see

I’ve often searched for what I’ve only heard

In dryer times it is the bird itself that sings

Like truth admired or undesired or loved

Often truth is only whispering or dashed with doubt

Loud Rain upon the leaves

Is music to a bird

& sounds abound & some of them are feared
The tintinnabulation of the church

The search for God

In dryer times I may have heard

You sing! You sing!

& I have seen God’s silence

& looked to hear you speak or touch

But what I find in evidence or such

Loud Rain upon the leaves

Is music to a bird

In dryer times it is the bird itself that’s heard.
