From My Front Porch

The rain was so light it was barely perceptible. You can just make out the double effect.

The locals (hey! that's ME now, too!) say we're on a trend for record rainfall this year, here to the Grand Valley. Over FOUR INCHES(!!) of rain this year, and it's only May. um. The day before I began my westerly sojourn, I dumped 4" out of the rain gauge attached to the fence in the back yard, all from the DAY before. Yep, it's dry out here. But this is the only reign I need for the time being ...
  I don't know how I've not seen this particular video of this particular song before. Quadrophenia is one of my all time favorite albums and this is one of my all time favorite Who songs. This a wonderful video with a wonderful song. Enjoy .... what's that, you say? I just posted this a few days ago? Yeah, see. I told ya' it's one of MY all time favorites. I might post it every day. Thanks for stopping by!



Only love can make it rain
The way the beach is kissed by the sea
Only love can make it rain
Like the sweat of lovers layin' in the fields

Love, reign o'er me
Love, reign o'er me
Rain on me, rain on me

Only love can bring the rain
That makes you yearn to the sky
Only love can bring the rain
That falls like tears from on high

Love, reign o'er me
Rain on me, rain on me
Love, reign o'er me
Rain on me, rain on me

On the dry and dusty road
The nights we spend apart alone
I need to get back home to cool, cool rain

I can't sleep, and I lay, and I think
The night is hot and black as ink
Oh God, I need a drink of cool, cool rain

Love, reign o'er me
Reign o'er me, o'er me, o'er me
Love, reign o'er me, o'er me
Love
