1. I hear the drizzle of the rain, like a memory it falls,

soft and warm continuing, tapping on my roof and walls.

2. And from the shelter of my mind, through the window of my eyes,

I gaze beyond the rain drenched streets to England where my heart lies.

3. My mind's distracted and diffused, my thoughts are many miles away,

they lie with you when you're asleep, and kiss you when you start your day.

4. And a song I was writing is left undone, I don't know why I spent my time

writing songs I can't believe with words that tear and strain to rhyme.
