Gentle rain

Tonight it started raining, no thunder, no lightning... just this gentle rain, hope it keeps up all night, we need it. My pile of CD's is shrinking gradually but is making updating a Blog rather tedious... Ah, well, thats life... Belinda Carlisle sang a song about Summer Rain and the lyrics seem apt for the weather tonight... Placebo also did a song called English Summer Rain... not quite the same but also a great song.
Summer Rain - Belinda Carlisle
Whispering our goodbyes
Waiting for a train
I was dancing with my baby
In the summer rain
I can hear him saying
Nothing will change
Come dancing with me baby
In the summer rain

I remember the rain on our skin
And his kisses hotter than theSanta Ana winds
Whispering our goodbyes
Waiting for a train
I was dancing with my baby
In the summer rain

I remember laughing till we almost cried
(There at station that night)
I remember looking in his eyes
Oh my love, it’s you and that I dream of
Oh my love, since that day
Somewhere in my heart
I’m always
Dancing with you in the summer rain

Doesn’t matter what I do now
Doesn’t matter what I say
Somewhere in my heart
I’m always
Dancing with you in the summer rain

I can hear the whistle
Military train
I was dancing with my baby
In the summer rain
I can here him singing
Ooh Love Is Strange?
Come dance with me baby
In the summer rain

I remember the rain pouring down
And we poured our hearts out
As the train pulled out
I can see my baby
Waving from the train
It was last time that I saw him
In the summer rain

Every time I see the lightning
Every time I hear the thunder
Every time I close the window
When this happens in the summer
Oh the night is so inviting
I can feel that you are so close
I can feel you when the wind blows
Blows right through my heart

Every night and every day now
Though I know you’ve gone away
Somewhere in my heart I’m always
Dancing with you in the summer rain
