Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
Have you ever seen the far side
Of a mountain swallow the sky
As you travel through the valley
As you're speeding still far behind
Through the valley where lovers climb
Have you ever seen the locust
Lean his wings right after a plague
Like ascending up a dark cloud
In the sunlight to end the day
To kill the sunlight, to end the day
Yes it will follow the rain
Have you ever seen the quiet
Indecision of a man
When he's standing by the fire
With an eager friend in his hand
Will he ever quite understand
That it will follow the rain
I said oh my friend
It will follow the rain
Have you ever seen your baby
Getting caught by the lonesome wind
And the whistling round the corners
Telling you they have let her in
Separation can now begin
Yes, it will follow now the rain
I said, oh my friend
It will follow the rain
I said, oh my friend
It will follow the rain
Have you ever seen the far side
Of a mountain swallow the sky
As you travel through the valley
As you're speeding still far behind
Through the valley where lovers climb
Where the children will blink and sigh
They have caught a lightning strike
In a jar just to watch it die
In the valley where lovers climb
Yes it will follow the rain
I said oh my friend
It will follow the rain
Of a mountain swallow the sky
As you travel through the valley
As you're speeding still far behind
Through the valley where lovers climb
Have you ever seen the locust
Lean his wings right after a plague
Like ascending up a dark cloud
In the sunlight to end the day
To kill the sunlight, to end the day
Yes it will follow the rain
Have you ever seen the quiet
Indecision of a man
When he's standing by the fire
With an eager friend in his hand
Will he ever quite understand
That it will follow the rain
I said oh my friend
It will follow the rain
Have you ever seen your baby
Getting caught by the lonesome wind
And the whistling round the corners
Telling you they have let her in
Separation can now begin
Yes, it will follow now the rain
I said, oh my friend
It will follow the rain
I said, oh my friend
It will follow the rain
Have you ever seen the far side
Of a mountain swallow the sky
As you travel through the valley
As you're speeding still far behind
Through the valley where lovers climb
Where the children will blink and sigh
They have caught a lightning strike
In a jar just to watch it die
In the valley where lovers climb
Yes it will follow the rain
I said oh my friend
It will follow the rain

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Matsson's lyrics are definitely enigmatic and I think they can be interpreted many different ways. That being said, this song to me seems to be about the end of relationship and how, after the turmoil of the break-up, one learns to achieve happiness again.
