Eastern Rain — текст песни (Joni Mitchell)

Rain comes from the east one night

We watch it come

To hang like beaded curtains

Till the morning sun

Water dripping from our clothes

You with raindrops on your nose

Ask me sadly "please dont go away now."

Till the rain is done, I say

"ill stay now."



Rain outside but inside we dont mind at all

Shadows by the fire slowly climb and fall

Kisses fade and leave no trace

Whispers vanish into space

The dawn will send me on a chase to nowhere

Why cry as if I were the first to go there



And I know I shouldnt be here

Yes, I know I should go home

But that eastern rain drones in my brain

And Im so all alone, so all alone



Morning comes up from the east

We watch it come

And far away now rolls the ancient rain gods drum

You with daybreak in your eyes

Afraid to speak for telling lies

I watch you search for some reply to lend me

But when the rain is done

Theres no pretending



And I know I shouldnt be here

Yes, I know I should go home

But that eastern rain drones in my brain

And Im so all alone, so all alone
