Minnie Riperton - Rainy Day In Centerville lyrics

(C. Stepney - R. Rudolph)

Sitting all alone I hear the tapping of the rain

Dance ballerina dance

Talking with the rain in some small city I feel the pain,

she's dancing all alone

Thinking how we'd wait together

sitting by the fire in weather just like this

Playing lovers' games; hoping the rain would never end

And I thought about the night we met

How the gentle rain fell down, kissed the ground

Then I knew no one ever could take your place

Nothing seems the same but the falling rain

You've gone away

Walking by the sea; sitting beneath a tree;

You are not here..
