A night of rain
with everyone talking about it
And I mean everyone
for it's hammering down

As they fill the hall
for the evening performance
Planned for outside
I take the stage

I and the others
Sweating below lights
And as my eye wanders
I see a forgotten face

There in the rows smiling back
I too quickly smile
Let it be known that I've seen
Then begin to wonder

What fills the mind?
Behind that smile
If I only knew
I'd forget the rain.
