A misty shadow spread its wings

And covered all the ground

And even though the sun was out

The rain came pouring down

And all the light had disappeared

And faded in the gloom

There was no hope, no reasoning

This rainy day in June

The eagle spread its mighty wings

And pounced upon its pray

And all the skies, so brilliant blue

Turned suddenly to grey

The cherished things are perishing

And buried in their tomb

There is no hope, no reasoning

This rainy day in June

And everybody felt the rain

Everybody felt the rain

The demon stretched its crinkled hand

And snatched a butterfly

The elves and gnomes were hunched in fear

Too terrified to cry

The reckoning was beckoning

They're living to their doom

There was no hope, no reasoning

This rainy day in June

And everybody felt the rain

Everybody felt the rain

From Face to Face (1966). The rainy June day — disappointing, damp, quintessentially English — as an emotional landscape. Ray Davies' weather observations always carried more than meteorological information.
