Rainbird Lyrics

You can hear me in the early hours
Drumming on the screens
You can dance and run in summer showers
I'm feeding the greens
You'll laugh in a child-like way
When you water... every other day
I want to be -- your Rainbird
Water is life and I am the giver
Hose down the driveway, flow to the river
I can whisper in the night
In your flower bed
You can mow, I'll be all right
I've got a pop-up head
Snow-melt will be the source
Turning the desert... into a golf course
I want to be -- your Rainbird
Oh... water is life and I am the giver
Hose down the driveway, flow to the river
Thunder or lightning -- no precipitation
Changing the climate -- drip irrigation
I want to be -- your Rainbird
I want to be -- your Rainbird

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
