lyrics

I've wanted my ripples to run into yours
since the last time I saw your sweet face.
I keep dropping stones, but my rings, they grow weaker.
They never do cast me away from this place.

I'm up in the mountains after days on the prairie,
just driving and drinking and wishing for rest.
And you're on my mind nearly all of the time,
and I wonder if you're out there missing me less,
and it's raining on Lake Marie.

Raining on Lake Marie.
And if you ever go back to Medicine Bow,
bring back a raindrop for me and I'll know
it's been raining on Lake Marie.

I've been out on my own and I've learned and I've grown.
I've had precious moments I've wanted to share.
Like the glowing goodbye of the Wyoming sky,
or the warmth of kind strangers you find everywhere.

I carefully save all the memories I've made,
hope somewhere in my travels, it's you that I'll find.
Cuz I miss you like breathing though you never were mine,
and this rain is the murmur of you on my mind,
and it's raining on Lake Marie.

Raining on Lake Marie.
And if you ever go back to Medicine Bow,
bring back a raindrop for me and I'll know
it's been raining on Lake Marie.

Sometimes when I'm lonesome, I think of you sitting
and watching the fish jump out on Lake Marie.
You set loose a stone and you wait for the ripples
to flow down the river and out to the sea.

You stare at the mountains and the sun-setting sky
as the rain starts to silently fall.
Then you look all around as the water runs down
and you worry someday I won't miss you at all
and it's raining on Lake Marie.

Raining on Lake Marie.
And if you ever go back to Medicine Bow,
bring back a raindrop for me and I'll know
it's been raining on Lake Marie.
