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
