Yesterday I Heard the Rain

Yesterday I heard the rain,

whispering your name,

asking where you'd gone . . .

It fell softly from the clouds

on the silent crowds,

as I wandered on . . .

Out of doorways

black umbrellas came to pursue me,

Faceless people as they passed

were looking through me,

no one knew me . . .

Yesterday I shut my eyes,

face-up to the skies,

drinkin' in the rain . . .

But your image still was there

floating in the air,

brighter than a flame . . .

Yesterday I saw a city,

full of shadows without pity,

and I heard the steady rain,

whispering your name,

Whispering your name . . .

Yesterday I saw a city,

full of shadows without pity,

and I heard the steady rain,

whispering your name,

whispering your name,

whispering your name . . .
