A bright, uptempo synthesized song with two acoustic guitars, acoustic base, and drum set.
Man's best bryophyte. Only musical.

Story behind the song
"Why is this song so springy and uptempo when the lyrics are so sad?!?"
The intent was for "Rain For Your Leaves" to be encouraging in tone, mingling both sorrow and hope.
Mossdog would like to thank PDPhoto.org for use of the photo for this song's icon.

This version of "Rain For Your Leaves" is instrumental only, but lyrics do exist, as listed below.
---------------------------------------------------
Something is shaken,
Something is wrong;
All that you thought was true rings hollow.
Something is aching,
Something is gone;
Fields that you thought were fair lie fallow.
Love,
Will you turn back to me?
My love,
Do you think that I don't see?
Let me be
Rain for your leaves,
Earth for your roots--
Spirit of sunlight streaming,
You could be
Joy in my eyes,
Strength in my heart--
If you turn to me,
Make it more than dreaming....
This dream,
This dream.
I am forsaken,
These weeks have shown;
You will not call, I will not find you.
Risks have been taken,
Left me alone;
Instead of beside you, I'm behind you.
Love,
Will you turn back to me?
My love,
Do you think that I don't see?
Let me be
Rain for your leaves,
Earth for your roots--
Spirit of sunlight streaming,
You could be
Joy in my eyes,
Strength in my heart--
If you turn to me,
Make it more than dreaming....
This dream,
This dream.
I could be the rain for your leaves--
I could be the sun on your skin.
You could be all that I need
If you turn to me,
Let me back in....
Turn to me,
Let me back in,
For once you were the rain on my leaves.
Once you were the rain on my leaves.
