Lyrics

Once in awhile there’s a day,
That wakes all my senses and forces pretenses away,
Like February rain

Washing off dead leaves, forgotten when new ones appear,
A mother shedding, she’s shedding winter tears,
The knowledge of pain,
February rain.

When I look back on my life,
And see all the changes and how rearranges caused strife,
Like February rain,
Beating down dried fields, forgotten, when harvest is here,
A mother shedding, she’s shedding winter fears,
The knowledge of gain,
February rain.

There comes a day when I’ll die,
To shake my defenses and uncover secrets and lies,
Like February rain,
Uprooting old trees, forgotten, when saplings appear,
A mother shedding, she’s shedding winter veneers,
The knowledge it contains,
February rain.
