It's Raining Today

It's raining today

and I'm just about to forget the train window girl

That wonderful day we met

She smiles through the smoke from my cigarette

It's raining today

But once there was summer and you

And dark little rooms

And sleep in late afternoons

Those moments descend on my windowpane

I've hung around here too long

Listenin' to the old landlady's hard-luck stories

You out of me me out of you

We go like lovers

To replace the empty space

Repeat our dreams to someone new

It's raining today

And I watch the cellophane streets

No hang-ups for me

'Cause hang-ups need company

The street corner girl's a cold trembling leaf

It's raining today

It's raining today
