IT'S RAINING TODAY
Album : "Scott 3" 
Scott Walker


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
