Sam Misner & Megan Smith perform their song "Cold Rain Fell" at the Freight & Salvage in Berkeley, CA. Recorded January, 31 2010 © Poor Player Records/Misner & Smith

lyrics

Cold Rain Fell

Cold rain fell, full up was the well
But the water circled ‘round cabin doors
Spirits raised as she played her fiddle
And she played it till the middle of the morn

Guitars strummed the bass it hummed
Soon the sound of voices
Songs that night were filled with light
And drove off all of the darkness

The last three days we fixed our gaze
On the clouds, river and lightning
Walls are strong but won’t last long
If the noose of the water keeps tightening

Papa soon picked up his spoons
Mama frailed her banjo
Songs were prayers like Heaven’s stairs
Reaching high where winds blow

Her fiddle’s strain broke the rain
The flood fell away along the shore
Seven days they stood and played
Thunder always rapping at the door

Hickory flames danced and sang
Winds howled a warning
But all were calm and sang along
Deep into the hours of the morning
