I wrote Rain’s Coming Down around 2004 while living in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. Tornadic thunderstorms were rolling in, and I was home alone as the weather closed in. With the sky lighting up and the wind building outside, I sat down at the piano and let the song come out in real time.
It’s a song born from that mix of isolation, intensity, and wonder that only an Oklahoma storm can bring. Since then, I’ve carried it with me, playing and singing it on the piano for years, always meaning to record it “someday.”
This is that day. After all this time, I finally captured it the way it was meant to be heard

Lyrics

Verse 1
Rain’s Coming Down And There’s Lightning All Around
And It’s Falling Down Falling On Me
Staying Up All Night ’Cause I Can’t Get A Wink
And It’s Falling Down Falling On Me
Rain’s Coming Down And There’s Lightning All Around
And It’s Falling Down Falling On Me
Staying Up All Night ’Cause I Can’t Get A Wink
’Cause It’s Falling Down Falling On Me
Chorus
Storms May Come And Storms May Go
And I Think I’m Going To Make It
Winds May Come And Winds May Blow
Yeah I Think I’m Going To Make It
Verse 2
The Weatherman Says It’s Bad Outside Today
Put Your Things In The Garage
The Weather Is Getting Rough
Now It’s Time To Go Into The Hidey Hole
Verse 3
Rain’s Coming Down And There’s Lightning All Around
And It’s Falling Down Falling On Me
Staying Up All Night ’Cause I Can’t Get A Wink
And It’s Falling Down Falling On Me
Rain’s Coming Down And There’s Lightning All Around
And It’s Falling Down Falling On Me
Staying Up All Night ’Cause I Can’t Get A Wink
And It’s Falling Down Falling On Me
Verse 4
Looking Out The Window I See A Funnel Cloud
Running To The Cellar It Picks Me Off The Ground
Now I’m Flying Higher And Higher
Now I’m Flying Higher And Higher
Verse 5
Rain Came Down There Was Lightning All Around
And It Fell Down Fell On Me
Stayed Up All Night ’Cause I Couldn’t Get A Wink
And It Fell Down Fell On Me
Rain Came Down There Was Lightning All Around
And It Fell Down Fell On Me
Stayed Up All Night ’Cause I Couldn’t Get A Wink
And It Fell Down Fell On Me
Chorus (Variation)
Storms May Come And Storms May Go
And I Thought I Was Going To Make It
Winds May Come And Winds May Blow
But I Thought I Was Going To Make It
Bridge
The Weatherman Had Said It Was Bad Outside Today
Put Your Things In The Garage
The Weather Was Getting Rough
It Was Time To Go Into The Hidey Hole
Outro
Looking Out The Window I Saw A Funnel Cloud
Run Into The Cellar It Picked Me Off The Ground
Now I’m Flying Higher And Higher (With The Cows)
Now I’m Flying Higher And Higher (And The Pigs)
Now I’m Flying Higher And Higher (There’s An Angel)
Ahhhhhh
