    Story Behind the Song
    Breaking up is hard to see sometimes. And I think artists often react differently to events like that. All I remember is it finally dawning on me that it was ending. I was driving back a restaurant/pub in Newport, RI to home in Easton, MA when this came to me suddenly. It was raining. I pulled over to the side of the road to write the lyrics on the side of a cardboard box in the back seat as they poured out of my soul. Guitar work is inspired by Jorma Kaukonen's tune Genesis on the Quah album that I was learning at the time.

    Lyrics
    Heavy weights on the ankles of my soul
    Lost and yet somehow hoping
    Hoping for clearer skies and a heavy rain
    And a heavy reign

    Chorus:

    Heavy rain, heavy reign
    Wash down on my soul's love
    Heavy rain, heavy reign
    Pour down on my soul's love

    Salvation under cover, hidden in holes
    Cost seems to be overwhelming
    Abel appearing to lose to Cain - oh to hear
    Dawn's feet on my floor again

    Repeat chorus

    Heaven and hell on a short order pad
    Leftovers stolen by a stranger
    Something to remember and something to forget as they buffaloed the bill
    And made a loan to the ranger

    Repeat chorus twice
