Description
Here’s one I posted very early on and then took down as I was not happy with the mix. I guess keeping just ahead of the rain is a bit of a metaphor for all the crap that closes in round all of us from time to time.
Unlike the lady in the car next to me in the traffic jam hopefully most of us for most of the time at least can avoid “getting wet”!! Cheers Mark

Lyrics
Ahead of the Rain
Woman with a pinched and scornful mouth
Do your features become your personality?
Sitting so still
Stone, stone cold
God never let me get that old
The mist hangs heavy on the hedgerows
Your breath hangs heavy on the air
Robins in cage
Heavens in a rage
But we’re not like you
We can make it through
We’re keeping just ahead of the rain
We’ve done just enough
To numb all the pain
She drifts back to places
Where it all began
To the woods and fields
Where she knows the land
She really can’t believe
That it’s come to this
Her heart beats faster
And her hand makes a fist
Robins in cage
Heavens in a rage
But we’re not like you
We can make it through
We’re keeping just ahead of the rain
We’ve done just enough
To numb all the pain
