Gerry and I started writing this song in Dublin in May, and finished it in Dingle in August.

lyrics

The rain falls in sheets on the pavement outside
The car tyres are splashing the passers-by
This town was always grey, and it’s greyer tonight
The wind sings a desolate lullaby

So much rain
That I can’t see through
I thought we’d be together when the season changed
Spring was the promise I made to you
You said you’d wait for better weather

I hear your voice in the rain
You told me you’d be back again
When the flowers came up again
Well, here they are and where are you

The street lights shine bright on the shop windowpane
My ghostly reflection thrown back at me again
The blossoms on the cherry trees hang ragged in the rain
And I’ve only myself to blame

So much rain
That I can’t see through
I thought we’d be together when the season changed
Spring was the promise I made to you
You said you’d wait for better weather

I hear your voice in the rain
You told me you’d be back again
When the flowers came up again
Well, here they are and where are you
