I hear the drizzle of the rain
Like a memory it falls,
Soft and warm continuing,
Tapping on my roof and walls.
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.
My mind is distracted and diffused,
My thoughts are many miles away,
They lie with you and you're asleep,
And kiss you when you start your day.
And the song I was writing is left undone,
I don't know why I spend my time,
Writing songs I can't believe
With words that tear and strain to rhyme.
And so you see I have come to doubt,
All that I once held as true,
I stand alone without beliefs,
The only truth I know is you.
And as I watch the drops of rain
Weave their weary paths and die,
I know that I am like the rain,
Here but for the grace of you go I.
Writer(s): Paul Simon
