OSAKA RAIN (NANIWA NO AME)
Suddenly it’s solid cloud black as night beyond
And the sun is closing down fading like a song
Oh yes I guess they were right and we’re gonna get wet tonight
Push our way through the clinging mist
A gossamer web like a tender kiss
Naniwa no ame, Osaka rain
Hung in space a silver curtain a shimmering golden train
And I walk and talk with you, will it ever be the same
Strolling round Namba town
In the warm Osaka rain
Coloured lights reflected in lakes that appear
Find a doorway to shelter in, seems like it’s been raining for years
Then a memory floats by
Hide those tears you don’t wanna cry
Thinking back to where we began
Tryna get through, we try, try to understand
One man sits in his cardboard castle remains
Once had a life it’s not over yet
But now the rain helps him forget.
One man runs his suit gets stains
One man sits in his cardboard castle remains
Once had a life it’s not over yet
But now the rain helps him forget.
