The Rain, the Gate, and Other Things

by LJEvans

The Tok'ra arrive at the SGC with information about a weapon that kills a Gou'ald symbiote but does not harm the host. As always with the Tok'ra, if it sounds too good to be true it usually is. A little bit of SJ ship in Chapter 3.

4. Inspiration

INSPIRATION

A/N: The inspiration for this story came from an old song by the Cowsills called "The Rain, the Park, and Other Things." Very few of you have probably ever heard of this song since its not high on the "play" list at most oldies radio stations. It's really a great song though with a definite "1969" feel to it! Anyway here are the lyrics and after you've read them, you might read the story again and see where I'm coming from. Anyway, thanks for reading!

The Rain, The Park and Other Things

by the Cowsills

I saw her sitting in the rain,
raindrops falling on her.
She didn't seem to care.
She sat there and smiled at me.

And I knew (I knew, I knew, I knew, I knew)
she could make me happy (happy, happy.)
Flowers in her hair, flowers everywhere.

I love the flower girl, oh, I don't know just why.
She simply caught my eye.
I love the flower girl, she seemed so sweet and kind.
She crept into my mind.

Suddenly the sun broke through (see the sun.)
I turned around she was gone (where did she go.)
And all I had left was one little flower from her hair.

But I knew (I knew, I knew, I knew, I knew)
she had made me happy (happy, happy.)
Flowers in her hair, flowers everywhere

I love the flower girl

Was she reality or just a dream to me?

I love the flower girl
Her love showed me the way
to find a sunny day (Sunny day... sunny day... sunny day)
I love the flower girl
Was she reality or just a dream to me?
