IT’S RAINING IN LOS ANGELES

Hope it’s not too late, just called to see if things were OK
How’s the weather there? Any sign this dry spell might break?
Here the sun’s been burning hot and clear and the grass has turned brown and bare
But tonight the clouds came rolling in and there’s thunder in the air

Chorus:
It’s raining in Los Angeles
Is it raining in Tennessee?
The roses might be withered on the vine
But they could still survive
With this sweet water to drink
It’s raining in Los Angeles

Even in this land of stone, I haven’t forgotten how a garden grows
It needs a rainstorms and hand to pull away the thorns
I know a voice on the telephone can’t make a house into a home
‘Cause the strongest heart wil weaken if left thirsty and alone

Chorus:

Hitch a ride on a rain cloud, only thing for me to do
Blow across the Rockies and the plains and rain down upon you

Chorus:

c 1996, Barbara Martin
