Eastern Rain Lyrics - Fairport Convention

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, no" 

"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 

None will send me on a chase to nowhere 

What matters if I were the first to go there?

Morning comes up from the east 

We watch it come 

And far away now rolls the angry 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 we'll stop pretending
