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, Drinkin' 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.
