lyrics

If I were the rain, if I were the rain
Would I be able to reconnect the pieces of your broken heart
The way the rain connects the earth and sky?

If I were the rain, if I were the rain
Would you catch me every time I fell down
Catch me like a raindrop in your hand

If I were a star, if I were a star
I’d fall into your dreams and light your way
The way a star is company to the moon

If I were a star, if I were a star
Would you come to visit me in the night
Would you remember me when the clouds
block you from my sight

If I were a tree, if I were a tree
Would I reach deep enough to touch you when you’re gone
Across the land, across the sea, and far beyond

If I were a tree, if I were a tree,
Would you catch my leaves upon the winds
in colors of red and brown
Bits of me to take and call your own

Cheshire Moon is a fanciful melding of trickster bird Lizzie Crowe and mad hatter Eric Coleman.

These two-time Pegasus Award recipients are part of the growing music genre known as MythPunk, bringing old gods and folk tales into modern day, and bringing faerie tale princesses into the light of dark magic.

They weave journeys of song and story, bringing their listeners along for the ride. ... more

Rootless Digital Single
by S. J. Tucker

supported by 8 fans who also own “If I Were the Rain”

I walked away from playing music ten years ago, disgusted with music and myself. SJ Tucker's songs have played no small part in bringing me back in a truly strange yet beautiful way. The blisters on my fingers and the gloom in my heart are nearly healed. I sat down my new acoustic guitar to write a comment about some heavy medicine and now I'm going to get back to my therapy. I can't thank you enough SJ! Keep up the good work! roddylloyd
