Those who know me know that I don’t care much for rain, especially when I have to work in it. Some days I think I really would like to live in the desert. The recent rain made me think of this song by the Duhks, a Winnepeg-based group whose music I was introduced to some time ago. Here is the group’s website:

Out of the Rain – The Duhks

It’s been raining hard in Winnipeg, like where you’ve gone
So I am going to write a song to soothe my aching
For two whole days the rain came down and I’ve been thinking round
To when I was too young to see my heart was breaking
Oh baby I can’t stay here in the rain another day
Though I’ve been trying to find a way to make it happen
Lately I’ve been trying figure what it’s all about
And when I know I’ll work it out but now I’m getting
Out of the rain.

Out of the rain is where I’m headed for
Far from the pain of being tied to your back door
Oh I know that it’s not something that I can control
So I’ll go to go on in the rain.

I’ve been wandering thirsty in the rain for so long now
But it ain’t of the amount but where I’m standing
In the sunshine I will see much clearer just what I can do
I’ll keep it simple free and true
I can do what I want to do.

Out of the rain is where I’m headed for
Far form the pain of being tied to your back door
Take it slow, love yourself for you can’t love no one else
Oh I know I can’t go on in the rain.

Out of the rain, no hurting anymore
Into the sun to find what I’ve been yearning for
Take it slow love yourself for you can’t love no one else
Oh I know I can’t go on in the rain.
Oh I know, I can’t go on in the rain.
