《Kathy's Song》 -- (P. Simon, 1965) Simon and Garfunkel

《Kathy's Song》 -- (P. Simon, 1965) Simon and Garfunkel
I hear the drizzle of the rainLike a memory it fallsSoft and warm continuingTapping on my roof and walls.And from the shelter of my mindThrough the window of my eyesI gaze beyond the rain-drenched streetsTo England where my heart lies.My mind's distracted and diffusedMy thoughts are many miles awayThey lie with you when you're asleepAnd kiss you when you start your day.And as a song I was writing is left undoneI don't know why I spend my timeWriting songs I can't believeWith words that tear and strain to rhyme.And so you see I have come to doubtAll that I once held as trueI stand alone without beliefsThe only truth I know is you.And as I watch the drops of rainWeave their weary paths and dieI know that I am like the rainThere but for the grace of you go I.
