In the winter it's raining; the clouds are dark and low It's the normal condition- everybody wants it so With snow-covered mountains, the valleys wet below- In Southeast Alaska we have more rain than snow.
In Spring the clouds are heavy with impending change Fog and hail, brief sun and wind, we go all the range There is no predicting but always - or in the main- In Southeast Alaska in spring there is rain.
Ah, but in the summer, the misty air's serene Clothes damp-dry on the line, the grass is cool and green But hang your coat by the fire lest you go out again In Southeast Alaska, summer brings rain
In Autumn the storms return, dark clouds are in the sky Wind strips leaves from all the trees and sends them flying high Waters rush, galoshes slosh- a familiar refrain: In Southeast Alaska, it's raining. Again.
We're a special kind of people who live here, don't you know We've made our peace with weather - with rain, not with snow So we take pride in saying, though it may cause some pain In Southeast Alaska, bring on the rain This is Southeast Alaska- Bring on the rain!
