In the wind-swept avenues
The rain-cleansed streets
A torrent of leaves crackle
Like a whip against my feet
The endless drops roll on
From above against our skin
Against the walls we hide
Begging for the warmth within
A sheet of rain came greeting
Cold silk of welcome for me
Each step I took within them
Brought kisses both wet and free
Years ago I used to love
To share my song with the rain
These days my old heart wonders
If these bones would protest in pain
Ah, rainy night, you ease my soul
You bring to me much joy
With playful wetness and quick carrasses
The night, she is your voice
