From the recording The Cold, the Rain & Saturday

David Alexander gave me these words - during the heat of the summer. No rain, no gloom, no moodiness. Then one Sunday afternoon when it started raining, the song unfolded for me - beautiful collaboration...

Lyrics

COLD AND THE RAIN AND SATURDAY

We got together to play some tunes
It was a cold and rainy Saturday
The music we made got magical
And the hours just slipped away
Even the fire we made intensified, and it danced
And an accidental touch of our hands
And it was time to take a chance

            There’s something about that cold and rainy Saturday
            That occupies my mind both day and night
            Wherever you are you can’t be far away
            I feel you by my side
            You and me, the cold, the rain and Saturday
            You and me, the cold, the rain and Saturday

I woke up this morning in bed alone
And I heard the falling rain
I pulled the covers up over my head
But the chill would not go away
Just when I think I can’t take it anymore
I think about us lying by the fire on the floor
Is that you outside knocking at my door?

            There’s something about that cold and rainy Saturday
            That takes me to the time I spent with you
            I think about you all the time
            You today consume my mind
            You and me, the cold, the rain and Saturday
            The fire and the song and the Saturday
            The kiss and fire and the Saturday
            Oh, and the rain
            And the fire
            And you
