* I am happy to finally make my first contribution to UG. This is one of my favourite songs, *
* such a dreamy drifting guitar sound. It plays much easier than I thought. Any comments or *
* feedback are appreciated. Enjoy! *

Lyrics:
[Verse]
And it rains here
Every day since I came
And the lichen covers rocks
And the green finds everything
[Chorus]
Chimacum rain
Rain and the rain and the rain
Down around you
Chimacum Rain
In the soak of leaves
And needle tufts and foam
In the grasses and the reeds
And the spilling over stones
Chimacum rain
Rain and the rain and the rain
Down around you
Chimacum Rain
[Bridge]
I'm spacing out
I'm seeing silences between leaves
I'm seeing down
I'm seeing silences that are here
He belongs here (can't tell him)
He belongs here (can't know him)
He belongs here
Chimacum Rain
It kinda gets inside you
The silences I mean
They kinda wrap around you
And loosen everything
Chimacum rain
Rain and the rain and the rain
Down around you
Chimacum Rain
