From the recordings Nazca Lines and Flowers Need Rain
Back in January of 2021 I was working on a new reWorking
of a song i had written 1989 lamely titled 'I Need You.'
In the nineties Rita and i rewrote and retitled it 'Flowers Need Rain'
There have been one or two demos made of it. We have it on 4 track.
But our TEAC Portastudio 144 conked out on us.
It sat until 2021 and as we were working on it, the Jan 6 insurrection occurred.
I sat down and wrote lyrics for 'It's Over and Done' in a matter of hours.
The song you know ... from 2021 'String Theory' to today's 'Flowers Need Rain'
Lyrics
I NEED YOU ©1989 Thomas Schaaf
Flowers Need Rain © 1994 T.Schaaf with Rita Miller
Give me a reason ... why I should stay
Give me some reasons ... before I go away
Give me some lovin' ... keepin' me warm
Give me some shelter ... some shelter from the storm
You know I need you ... like flowers need rain
You know I need you ... but I can't take the pain
You know I need you ...like the stars need the night
You know I need you ... to make it... alright
You know I need you ... to make it all right
You know I need you ... to make it... alright
Give me some fire …when i give you the spark
You fill my desires ... & keep away the dark
You've got the power ... to take control
Give me your heart now babY ... i’LL give ya' my soul
You know I need you ... like flowers need rain
You know I need you ... but I can't take the pain
You know I need you ...like the stars need the night
You know I need you ... to make it... alright
You know I need you ... to make it all right
You know I need you ... to make it... alright !!
You know I need you ... like flowers need rain
You know I need you ... but I can't take the pain
You know I need you ... like flowers need rain
You know I need you ... but I can't take the pain
You know I need you ...
You know I need you ...
You know I need you ... to make it... alright
You know I need you ... to make it all right
You know I need you ... to make it... alright !!
