Lyrics John Martyn

John Martyn

Patterns In The Rain

You cannot hide, not even from yourself

Like me, you’ll blame somebody else

All alone, you’ll sit and watch

The patterns in the rain.

You ask me why my colour’s mainly blue

You’ll know a change is up to you

‘Till then, you’ll sit and watch

The patterns in the rain.

So when you wipe away a teardrop

Remember why it’s there

The visions that betray you

Are hidden in each tear

If you can’t believe in love

Like a pattern in the rain

The lonely game you’re playing

Will haunt you once again.

So don’t believe you’re always on your own

Your love will surely bring you home

Once again, you’ll sit and laugh

At patterns in the rain.

You’ll feel the rain

And know it’s there to wash away the pain

It’s easy when your loved to start again

It’s easy when you’re loved.

Once more you’ll laugh

You cannot hide, not even from yourself

Just like me, you’ll blame somebody else

All alone, you’ll sit and watch

The patterns in the rain

All alone, you’ll sit and watch

The pattern in the rain.
