	Story Behind the Song This song has been a staple of my live solo performances since 1992. It's my earliest song that I still consider a viable part of my repertoire. The summer of '92 was a terribly rainy summer (like this one) but my passion for the music took the sting out of all the cancelled beach trips, and the outdoor concerts where I got soaked. Eleven years later, I still feel the same way about the power of music. Enjoy! Lyrics So now it's raining on a Saturday You only wanted to go out and play You watch your hopes dissolving in the rain How will you heal the pain? Lie in the warm glow of your TV set The show is boring but it helps you forget That in some way you're really missing out Today you'll do without? See that guitar that's lying on your bed You strum some chords, the rhythms clear your head The music flows like water from the spring And as you stroke the strings You raise your head and sing You raise your voice and sing... Chorus: The wind and rain are blowing all around But they won't reach me through my wall of sound The sun is shining here beneath the clouds Behind my wall of sound And if the sun should reappear someday My song won't be in vain The melody will still be mine to play Thank heaven for the rain... (Instrumental) Chorus: The wind and rain are blowing all around But they won't reach me through my wall of sound The sun is shining here beneath the clouds Behind my wall of sound And if the sun should reappear someday My song won't be in vain The melody will still be mine to play Thank heaven for the rain So now it's raining on a Saturday...
