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 . . .

Yesterday i saw a city,
Full of shadows without pity,
And i heard the steady rain,
Whispering your name,
Whispering your name,
Whispering your name . . .
