Kiss the Rain by Billie Myers

 Hello

Can you hear me?
Am I getting through to you?
Hello
Is it late there?
Is there laughter on the line?
Are you sure you're there alone?
'Cause I'm
Trying to explain
Something's wrong
You just don't sound the same
Why don't you
Why don't you
Go outside
Go outside
Kiss the rain
Whenever you need me
Kiss the rain
Whenever I'm gone too long
If your lips feel lonely and thirsty
Kiss the rain
And wait for the dawn
Keep in mind
We're under the same sky
And the night's
As empty for me as for you
If you feel
You can't wait 'til morning
Kiss the rain
Kiss the rain
Kiss the rain
Hello
Do you miss me?
I hear you say you do
But not the way I'm missing you
What's new?
How's the weather?
Is it stormy where you are?
You sound so close but it feels like you're so far
Oh, would it mean anything
If you knew
What I'm left imagining
In my mind
In my mind
Would you go
Would you go
Kiss the rain
As you fall
Over me
Think of me
Think of me
Think of me
Only me
Kiss the rain
Whenever you need me
Kiss the rain
Whenever I'm gone too long
If your lips
Feel hungry and tempted
Kiss the rain
And wait for the dawn
Keep in mind
We're under the same sky
And the night's
As empty for me as for you
If you feel you can't wait 'til morning
Kiss the rain
Kiss the rain
Kiss the rain
Kiss the rain
Hello
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?

KIss the rain eh?

Now let's think about this one

Barbara Streisand sang that she wanted to Kiss Me in the Rain

But the Violent Femmes told me to Kiss Off Into the Air

Louis Armstrong told me of the Kiss of Fire

But Johnny Cash told me about the Ring of Fire, but apparently they're not in cahoots with each other

LIta Ford wanted to Kiss Me Deadly

Hall and Oates wanted me to know that my Kiss Is On My(their) List

While Exile wanted to Kiss You(me) All Over

The Red Hot Chili Peppers wanted to Suck My Kiss

But Ben Harper had to Steal My Kisses

While all along, Sebastian wanted me to Kiss the Girl

Now when I think of all the lessons I've learned from this cornucopia of songs

And this song is telling me to Kiss the Rain when I'm lonely and thirsty

Or feel hungry and tempted

Really? That's the choice you went with?

I'm not risking hypothermia smooching some monsoon that's supposed to make me feel better when you're gone

What a maroon

You can’t kiss rain. No. Never.

Wow what an epic response. Don't forget that Hendrix asked to be excused while he kissed the sky, or if you misheard the lyrics while he kissed this guy. And Prince just wanted your (her) Kiss. In youth group someone told me that KISS, the band, stood for Knights In Satan's Service. I said no silly It stands for KIDS in Satan's Service.
