'twas on a rainy day

To rise above the crowd

And talk to mother nature for a while

She told me of her love

For the children in her trust

And of the great concern

For the likes of you and me and theirs

Chorus:

Fine and old she was

She did speak these tender words

The things that I am

I could not change for any man

I tried to comfort her

But she would not be still

And how the rain did fall

As I found my way back down the Redwood Hill

Chorus:

I tried to comfort her

But she would not be still

I won't forget the day

When mother nature cried on Redwood Hill

I won't forget the day

When mother nature cried on Redwood Hill
