It's Raining Today Lyrics - Scott 3 - Scott Walker

It's raining today 

And I'm just about to forget the train window girl 

That wonderful day we met 

She smiles through the smoke from my cigarette 

It's raining today 

But once there was summer and you 

And dark little rooms 

And sleep in late afternoons 

Those moments descend on my windowpane 

I've hung around here too long 

Listenin' to the old landlady's hard-luck stories 

You out of me me out of you 

We go like lovers 

To replace the empty space 

Repeat our dreams to someone new 

It's raining today 

And I watch the cellophane streets 

No hang-ups for me 

'Cause hang-ups need company 

The street corner girl's a cold trembling leaf
