Eastern Moon Lyrics

Rain comes from the east one nightWe watch it comeTo hang like beaded curtains till the morning sunWater dripping from our clothesYou, with raindrops on your noseAsk me sadly, "Please don't go away, love""Till the rain is done," I say, "I'll stay now"Rain outside but inside we don't mind at allShadows by the fireSlowly climb and fallKisses fade and leave no traceWhispers vanish into spaceNone will send me on a chase to nowhereWhat matters if I were the first to go there?Morning comes up from the eastWe watch it comeAnd far away now rolls the angry rain god's drumYou, with daybreak in your eyesAfraid to speak for telling liesI watch you search for some reply to lend meBut when the rain is done we'll stop pretending
