Today's weather was simply too warm and clear and sunny for comfort.
Guitar tuning: EbBbFAbBbEb (or CGDFGC x77325, Capo 3)
It’s the memory of rain
that worries you the most
Not the wetness in the air
so much as its murdered ghost
Eaves can softly fill with dust
Leaves can fall like flakes of rust
Beliefs for burning you can trust
There’s no hope in a clear coast
It’s the memory of rain
that taunts your rapid eye
looking everywhere around
except up there in the sky
Coded rhythms gone as warned
Roads darkened and unadorned
No perfume rarer than petrichor

I love the laconic feel to this tune. Very evocative soundscape.
Also, you used the word "petrichor" both as the title and in the lyric and that is enough for me to like this song!
