I hear the drizzle of the rain

Like a memory it falls

Soft and warm continuing

Tapping on my roof and walls
Verse:

And from the shelter of my mind
Am Am7 C Bm
Through the window of my eyes

To England where my heart lies

My mind's distracted and diffused

My thoughts are many miles away

And kiss you when you-ou-ou start your day

And a song I was writing is left undone

With words that tear a-a-nd strain to rhyme

And so you see I have come to doubt

All that I once held as true

The only truth I know is you

G C G
And as I watch the drops of rain
Am Am7 C Bm
Weave their weary paths and die
G Bm G C
I know that I am like the rain

There but for the grace of you go I
