If it looks like rain
Sing this song with me
Together we’ll be
Till the end of this dream
Till the end of this dream

If it looks like rain
Sing this song out loud
Hold your head up proud
Till the sunshine comes round
Till the sunshine comes round

If it looks like rain
If it looks like rai-a-a-ain
If it looks like rai-a-a-a-a-a-ain

If it looks like rain
Sing this song to the stars
Reshuffle your cards
Till you bend those steel bars
Till you bend those steel bars

If it looks like rain
Sing this song to the night
Go and dance in the light
Till your world feels all right
Till your world feels all right

If it looks like rain
If it looks like rai-a-a-ain
If it looks like rai-a-a-a-a-a-ain

If it looks like rain
Sing this song without fear
Wipe up all those tears
Till the skies are all clear
Till the skies are all clear

If it looks like rain
Sing this song with me
Together we’ll be
Till the end of this dream
Till the end of this dream 

If it looks like rai-a-a-a-ain

If it Looks Like Rain

To celebrate 2000, I took a year off to write songs, novels, plays, and stories - and I've been doing that since. At the end of my first year, I won first prize in the USA Songwriting Contest in the Lyric Category for 'Drum Machines and Beauty Queens.' This led to co-writing songs with many excellent musicians, including those represented in songs posted here. 

More recently, I was one of seven finalists in the Crisis Lyric Category of the 2021 UK Songwriting Contest for 'Lockdown Blues,' and one of nine nominees in the 2021 International Song Awards with 'Didn't the River Know' and 'Blue and Gold.'

For the past two years, I've been collaborating with many talented musicians on Kompoz. I release many of these songs here and compile the best into albums released under Captain Stormfield's Trip on Spotify and other platforms (see links below).
