broken windows
and empty hallways
a pale dead moon
in the sky streaked with gray
human kindness is overflowing
and I think it's going to rain today
scarecrows dressed
In the latest styles
frozen smiles to keep love away
human kindness is overflowing
and I think it's going to rain today
lonely
lonely
tin can at my feet
think I'll kick it down the street
that's the way to treat a friend
bright before me
the signs implore me
to help the needy
and show them the way
human kindness is overflowing
and I think it's going to rain today

Judy Collins, to my mind
does the best version of this song
It's on YouTube
I used to listen to it
as a teen and cry
I still do
