lyrics

the first day warm enough to go outside without a jacket on,
and i run out to play.
my mama takes a breath and yells her loudest out the kitchen door,
but i am out of range.

i hardly make it past the hardware store when rain clouds wreck my fun.
my playtime’s quickly through.
i head home sulking but my mama tell me rain is not so bad.
just look what it can do.

‘cause when the torrent soaks the ground,
color overtakes the gray and brown.
though the clouds look rather plain,
magic hides inside a day of rain.

april showers can’t bring may flowers alone.
they need help from the sunshine, and from robbins’ songs.
the spring rain teaches baby birds to sing,
so the cloudy days were bringing colors all along.

i put my boots on, and a raincoat, and i run down to the creek.
the rain won’t slow me down.
it makes a perfect day for stomping in the mud and catching frogs,
so you won’t see me frown.

it turns out rainy days are just as fun as those without a cloud,
if you don’t mind some dirt,
and though my mama has to wash the muddy clothes i wore outside,
she taught me rain can’t hurt.

‘cause when the torrent soaks the ground,
color overtakes the gray and brown.
though the clouds look rather plain,
magic hides inside a day of rain.

april showers can’t bring may flowers alone.
they need help from the sunshine, and from robbins’ songs.
the spring rain teaches baby birds to sing,
so the cloudy days were bringing colors all along.

Rooted firmly in bluegrass but with a love for new sounds as well, The Field Hymnal draws inspiration from nature and poetry, and from jokes told poorly by dear friends. If music can be a meeting place, The Field Hymnal is a door that is always open, with food on the table and laughs to be shared.
