Tabor: There ' s probably more trouble at home. It was midnight on the ocean. Not a street car was in sight. The sun was shining brightly, For it rained all day that night. ' Twas a summer ' s day in winter. The rain was snowing fast, As a barefoot girl with shoes on, Stood sitting on the grass. It was evening and the rising sun Was setting in the West, While the little fishes in the trees Were cuddled in their nests. The l ' ain was simply pouring down, The sun was shining bright, And everything that you could see Was hidden out of sight.
