Mm another slow drip from the gutterline
Streetlights blurring whiskeygold
Your silhouettestill pressed in the windowpane
I let the night talk I let the cold hold
I trace your name on the foggedup glass
Same caf corner same halfempty glass
The jukebox plays that Chet Baker tune
But youre not here to hum along too soon
I wear your old coat though its summer out
Smell your cigarette in the air no doubt
Every taxi that slowsI still turn my head
Foolish habitbetter left unsaid
And I tell myself let the memory slide
But midnight knows where my heart likes to hide
Still think of you in the rain
Drops tattoo my window pane
Same rhythm as your fading name
Still think of you in the rain
Now I dance with the steam from my tea
Twostep shadows theyre good company
Your laugh still echoes in the fire escape
A ghost I dont bother to reshape
I check my phoneno messages new
Just weather alerts and a missed call from you
From last autumnI kept it saved
Proof that I was someone you once craved
Whats a heart supposed to do
When the sky keeps crying you
Still think of you in the rain
Drops tattoo my window pane
Same rhythm as your fading name
Still think of you in the rain
But rain doesnt askit just falls
Doesnt care whose name it calls
I screamed yours into the gutter stream
It washed awaylike a halfremembered dream
Now Im left with this wet concrete
And a heart that still repeats
STILL THINK OF YOU IN THE RAIN
drops tattoo my window pane
Same rhythm as your fading name
STILLTHINKOFYOUINTHERAIN
and the rain keeps falling
soft nowlike its sorry
I let the last drop fall
and I dont wipe it off
