Walking in the rain
J. Duke
Walking in the rain
By myself all alone,
Without anybody here
To notice where I go,
Without any worry
Over when to start home,
Walking in the rain
With the cool coming at me
Like an old friend, softly,
Like maybe a lover
Whispering to me, Hush,
Be still, breathe deep,
Walking in the rain
By myself all alone
Is having all the warm world
Secretly inside me
All the cool while,
All, all the wet way.
