about

Describes shelter in the storm, safety among family, having to venture out for food, the perils that are hovering, safety from the storms that are hovering around us in this human condition. It is also literal. It celebrates nature and the rejuvenating power of the rain and the love of family.

lyrics

Underneath the Maple -J. Rand 8/11
In the rain
Playing my guitar
Underneath the maple
Raindrops sound
Louder than they are
Underneath the maple
Family either side of me
Hear the raindrops fall
In our tent cocoon and flannel jammy
Underneath the tall tree
It's gonna be a sweet night, just you wait and see
Underneath the maple tree
20 mile from nowhere, where I want to be
Underneath the maple tree
Who will go
Venture to the car
Sandwiches are waiting
Raindrops sound
Louder than they are
Will they be abating?
Draw straws
Ro-sham-bo
Tell me who will go
Peanut-butter
No matter what the weather
It's gonna be a sweet night, just you wait and see
Underneath the maple tree
20 mile from nowhere, where I want to be
In your arms beneath the maple tree
All night long I hear the raindrops fall
I know that they are calling me
Safe and warm
Underneath the storm
Sleeping with my family
(repeat)
It's gonna be a sweet night, just you wait and see
Underneath the maple tree
20 mile from nowhere, where I want to be
In each other's arms beneath the maple tree
20 mile from nowhere, where I want to be
Holding on beneath the maple tree
