Eastern Rain Lyrics - Joni Mitchell

Rain comes from the east one night 

We watch it come 

To hang like beaded curtains 

Till the morning sun 

Water dripping from our clothes 

You with raindrops on your nose 

Ask me sadly "Please don't go away now" 

Till the rain is done, I say 

"I'll stay now" 

Rain outside but inside we don't mind at all 

Shadows by the fire slowly climb and fall 

Kisses fade and leave no trace 

Whispers vanish into space 

The dawn will send me on a chase to nowhere 

Why cry as if I were the first to go there

Love Stinks, So Here Are 15 Anti-Valentine's Day Songs 

And I know I shouldn't be here 

Yes, I know I should go home 

But that eastern rain drones in my brain 

And I'm so all alone, so all alone 

Morning comes up from the east 

We watch it come 

And far away now rolls the ancient rain God's drum 

You with daybreak in your eyes 

Afraid to speak for telling lies 

I watch you search for some reply to lend me 

But when the rain is done 

There's no pretending 

Photos 

And I know I shouldn't be here 

Yes, I know I should go home 

But that eastern rain drones in my brain 

And I'm so all alone, so all alone
