Rain (sex) Rain (sex) Rain
I want you on my face
Running rivers into my ears
Drowning my (fuck) muddled mind
Washing me clean
Transformed to a tall oak
Leaving me (raw) bark naked
Standing fertile
Timeless in my desire
Strip me to the core
Storm of nature’s reproduction
Don’t stop gushing
(Blow) me to and fro
Again, and again
I want more
Until I am soaked (wet) through
Laid prostrate with adoration
