Rainy Day In Centerville — Minnie Riperton

(c. stepney - r. rudolph)

Sitting all alone I hear the tapping of the rain

Dance ballerina dance

Talking with the rain in some small city I feel the pain,

Shes dancing all alone

Thinking how wed wait together

Sitting by the fire in weather just like this

Playing lovers games; hoping the rain would never end

And I thought about the night we met

How the gentle rain fell down, kissed the ground

Then I knew no one ever could take your place

Nothing seems the same but the falling rain

Youve gone away

Walking by the sea; sitting beneath a tree;

You are not here..
