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

Drinking 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
