Nicole Ockmond: Music

• MP3 short clip, hi-fi play (broadband)
• MP3 short clip, lo-fi play (modem)

Some people harrass me about the title, no it does not refer to the male anatomy. The lyrics were written after my home was filled with 6 inches of flood water. My heart always goes out to those who are affected by flood waters. Mother nature is a bitch and I guess you could say I was screwed....This song has become all the more relevant since Katrina came to town.

green petal walls
i lie in silence
darkness all around
mustly smells
after the water's gone
washing away things we
didn't wish to lose
had no choice
hear my voice

stop the rain

coming down
falling down
pouring down
rinsing away my pain
things i can't replace
an old picture
a smiling face
this is my space retrace

stop the rain

water rising
seeping inside
getting into all the cracks where all your secrets hide
all your thoughts
they will be soaked thru
and never retrieved
silver sieve

stop the rain

stop the rain
flood water rising
seconds pass
surprising
flash uncompromising
i've quenched my thirst

stop the rain

rain rain go away
come back another day
rain rain go away
come back another day
rain rain go away
come back another day
all the little kids want to play
