Kathy's Song

I don't think I will ever, ever tire of listening to this song. It refuses to seep out of me. Even when I had no memory, the song played in my head. How can something as beautiful as this fade away? Thank you Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel. For once, just once, can the both of you come together on stage and sing this song? I'll move heaven and earth with my love to listen to you. 

I hear the drizzle of the rain
Like a memory it falls
Soft and warm continuing
Tapping on my roof and walls.

And from the shelter of my mind
Through the window of my eyes
I gaze beyond the rain-drenched streets
To England where my heart lies.

My mind's distracted and diffused
My thoughts are many miles away

They lie with you when you're asleep
And kiss you when you start your day.

And a song I was writing is left undone
I don't know why I spend my time
Writing songs I can't believe
With words that tear and strain to rhyme.

And so you see I have come to doubt
All that I once held as true
I stand alone without beliefs
The only truth I know is you.

And as I watch the drops of rain
Weave their weary paths and die
I know that I am like the rain
There but for the grace of you go I.
