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,
C#7 Cdim(IV) C#7
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.
