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

yesterday i saw a city full of shadows without pity

and i heard the steady rain whispering your name

whispering your name
