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 don't go away, love"  "Till the rain is done," I say, "I'll stay now"  Rain outside but inside we don't mind at all  Shadows by the fire  Slowly climb and fall  Kisses fade and leave no trace  Whispers vanish into space  None will send me on a chase to nowhere  What matters if I were the first to go there?  Morning comes up from the east  We watch it come  And far away now rolls the angry rain god's 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 we'll stop pretending
