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
