I hear the drizzle on the way
   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's distracted and confused
   My thoughts are many miles away
   They lie with you in your sleep
   And kiss you when you start your day
   And this 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
   There but for the grace of you go I
