I hear the drizzle of the rain_ Like a memory it falls
Soft and warm continuing_ Tapping on my roof and walls
And from the shelter of my mind_ Through the window of my eyes
I gaze beyond the rain drenched streets_ To England where my heart lies
My mind's distracted and diffused_ My thoughts are many miles away
They lie with you when you're asleep_ And kiss you when you start your day
And a song I was writing is left undone_ I don't know why I spent the time
Writing song I can't believe_ With words that tear and strain to rhyme
And so you see I have come to doubt_ All that I once held as true
I stand alone without beliefs_ The only truth I know is you
And as I watch the drops of rain weave their weary paths and die
I know that I am like the rain_ There but for the grace of you go I.
