    Story Behind the Song
    I wrote this in early 2002 as I reflected over the loss of my mother when I was growing up. While loosely based upon real life, I was trying to paint a picture from multiple views.

    Lyrics
    Dusty roads and burned out fields, and no one had a lot
    In the summer of '83 the sun burned hot

    Dirty dishes, forgotten chores, facts that slipped her mind
    He couldn't tell quite so well and he never had the time

    Rain came down
    And then the rain came down, down, down

    Scare and lonely when the fog rolled in, she prayed that it would clear
    Hospitals and one-way rides, she never reappeared

    He drove that night through the blinding rain, they had to let him go
    Lost inside, lightning flashed, he never felt the blow

    Rain came down
    And then the rain came down, down, down, down, down

    Everyone 'll get what’s coming too them, some will get too much
    Me I'm waiting for my turn

    Everyone in the little town knew, they didn’t know what to say
    They tried to smile in church that day, everybody's lost their share

    Riding home the Common was dark, the path it was well worn
    All the houses were buttoned up, waiting on another storm

    Rain came down
    And then the rain came down, down, down, down, down
