In The Rain

“In The Rain”

A hundred drops of rain hit the ground

At the same ****** time that I knew I must go back

Standing alone on the street where I found you

Getting wet from the rain falling from the black

It was a night in springtime and I came back to you

Holding my jacket up above to keep you from the rain

Underneath in the darkness I knew what to do

I kissed you; and a hundred times again

 

It was a hundred drops of rain that bounced off our soaking skin

Standing in the moonlight, standing for who knows when

And we stayed together, and the night was perfectly still for me

As those hundred drops of rain stopped and time moved so slowly

 

A hundred drops of rain fell from the sky

And I knew time had stood still when my heart did too

And we fell in love, but to learn how to fly

So I fell down deep, and I fall to be with you

On the moonlit street, in the darkness of the night

We kissed for the first time, and time had stopped

We embraced in the shadows, we embraced in the moonlight

Wet from the fall of a hundred rain drops
