歌詞

The rain is getting sleepy

You can hear it in the roof

The downpour turned to steady

The steady turned to soft

The eaves are spacing out their drops

Like ends of conversations

The gray is thinning at the edge

Where afternoons keep gold

The weeping lasts the evening

But joy comes with the light

And rain that sang so hard all day

Is humming its goodnight

The garden stands up slowly

And shakes out silver beads

The sparrows try one question note

From somewhere in the hedge

One patch of sky goes pale and bright

Behind the maple's crown

The weeping lasts the evening

But joy comes with the light

And rain that sang so hard all day

Is humming its goodnight

The last few drops come one by one

Each slower than the last

Like guests who love the doorway best

And leave it very last

Mmm... mmm... mmm

The weeping lasts the evening

But joy comes with the light

And rain that sang so hard all day

Is humming its goodnight

The weeping lasts the evening

But joy comes with the light

And rain that sang so hard all day

Is humming its goodnight

The rain got good and sleepy

And tiptoed out the gate
