Rose Petal and Rain (Levi's Song)
Words and Music by Anna Rundall
The boy and his shadow
play ship and sea
Rose petal and rain
sweet dream and he
A delicate picture
of little man blue
The road is the garden
for these two...The boy and his shadow
alone times two
His brothers are faster
away they flew
he's growing a bit like
a sweet slow dance
He plays with his shadow
instead of friends...The sun always shines on the great and the small
those who seem weaker may not be at all
who knows this Love of a different kind
The Father displayed in a child's gentle mindA boy and his shadow
sit side by side
make storms in a puddle
He glows with pride
Shadow Friend leaves
as the sun goes down
leaking Red Glory
above this town...The Son always shines on the great and the small
what seemed important now isn't at all
Taking the time for a hug goodnight
Mother's sweet baby and God's delightMy boy and his shadow played ship and sea
Rose petal and Rain
God's man-to-be........................................© 1999, Anna Rundall
