The Weatherman

I heard Glyns lovely melody and words came to me immediately.
I then noticed in his comments that I wasn’t the only one thinking this was the one for me.
So no choice really!
I decided to go with the structure as it is because Mr. Shipman is on holiday.

‘THE WEATHERMAN’

When I’m sure the sun is here
And my pathway is clear
He brings the darkness and brings back the fear
Will I ever find my way

The Weatherman made it rain
He’s washed away my dreams of sunny days
Now I’m stranded once again
No shelter no escape
The Weatherman made it rain

I can see a chink of light
Peeping through the clouds
And I can hear the angels calling
Could it be time for me now

The Weatherman made it rain
He’s washed away my dreams of sunny days
Now I’m stranded once again
No shelter no escape
The Weatherman made it rain

Give me light give me hope
Oh give my feet somewhere to go
Give me purpose lift me out of this hole
Leave the darkness far behind

The Weatherman made it rain
He’s gone and washed away my sunny days
Now I’m stranded once again
No shelter no escape
The Weatherman made it rain
The Weatherman made it rain

  1. Another wonderfully well crafted track both lyrically and musically and so well sung. Also incredibly topical given how busy our weatherman has been recently. Life is so unpredictable, a very good reason to have a good umbrella, raincoatand wellington boots at the ready.

  2. Loved your throughline metaphor(s) in this one, Ann, and how you weaved in questioning sadness, as well as a subliminal challenge for answers to life’s trials and tribulations we all as a people encounter throughout our lives. Nice work!
