Elton John - Just Like Strange Rain lyrics

Music by elton john

Lyrics by bernie taupin

Released as a uk b-side in may, 1969

I looked up from my glass into the sky

There's no one in my comic book to buy

Calendar swung on the wall held by a rusty nail

Down came the strange rain and washed my thoughts away

So stop in the sky and tell me why

You're changing your colours before my eyes

Yellow, blue, green and grey

Settled on the window pane

It made the rain that came seem strange

Just like strange rain

It made the rain that came seem strange

Just like strange rain

Still I sit beside the fire and watched as it fell

Come in colours from above into my citadel

My eyes are all embriodered with the rainbow you have made

And now it seems as though it's just, just like strange rain
