No Sign Of Rain Songtext

von Al Stewart

(As sung by Al Stewart, Transcribed from the concert at Parker's Ballroom, Seattle, June 10 1992.)

When I leave this town
You ought to think of me
I will fade away
Like a morning dream
You'll search the sky
It's clear again
No sign of rain

It's a thousand miles
Down a distant road
To the Texas town
That I call my home
Hear the whistle blow
On a midnight train
Just no sign of rain

There's a neon light
On the truck stop sign
The jukebox plays a slow
And easy Southern country song
And it draws them here
Like some Jerusalem
And touches every soul
That comes along

When I leave this town
You ought to think of me
I'll fade away
Like a morning dream
See the sun come up
Out over an open plain
Still no sign of rain

In a year or two
If your luck runs true
Maybe you'll settle down
And raise a family
I can see you there
In all your grown-up clothes
Missing the girl you once
Used to be

When I leave this town
You ought to think of me
I'll just fade away
Like a morning dream
You will search the sky
It's clear again
There's just no sign of rain
