Ace of Cups
As The Rain
My friend and companion went out to go walking He didn’t wear his shoes, he didn’t carry his cane He passed through the gate on the day the plums blossomed He said “Don’t you wait up I’ll be back as the rain” The tobacco smoke’s clear And the wine glass is broken The ashes are cold Where there once was a flame Outside in the green hills A wild bird is calling Singin’ “Don’t you wait up I’ll be back as the rain” So dust off the keys of the upright piano Slap tambourines while the saxophone blows The blossoms don’t mourn in the ices of winter We don’t mourn for a man who lived life as he chose There’s a new glass in the roof And the light comes in streaming You can lie in the bed and see star shot domains In the dreams of his wife He is there fair and handsome And his children are singin’ “He’ll be back as the rain” Fog is the breath of the mountains at morning We’re passengers all on a runaway train Letras de cancionesThe soldier, the tailor, the prisoner, the jailor We’re all standing in line To come back as the rain So dust off the keys of the upright piano Slap tambourines while the saxophone blows The blossoms don’t mourn in the ices of winter We don’t mourn for a man who lived life as he chose My friend and companion Went out to go walking He didn’t wear his shoes He didn’t carry his cane He passed through the gate On the day the plums blossomed He said “Don’t you wait up I’ll be back as the rain” He said “Don’t you wait up I’ll be back as the rain”
