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 wondered 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.
