I hear angels in the rain just a call I can't explain, memories always worth the time when I'm alone. Dare I forget so easily what Cupid's arrows did for me though I lost them then they still linger now. Walkin in the heat and wet I can't forget with no regrets Angels in the rain Between the drops I hear my name I see them clearly now. What's done is done but still I feel the broken arrows that never heal and there's no easy cure for them but time. So now I must keep on my way after all I never stay and though I've made mistakes I weep divine. Walkin in the heat and wet I can't forget with no regrets Angels in the rain Between the drops I hear my name I see them clearly now walkin in the heat and wet with angels in the rain They keep callin my name Angels in the rain true love never looks after it's own interests |

"What's done is done but still I feel the broken arrows that never heal and there's no easy cure for them but time." Enjoyed the poetry, great write. This verse seemed to be the bridge connecting thoughts through those times. JL  Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself. |

Damn fine writing, Eric. I have never been fortunate enough to hear those angels in the rain. I think I know why, they refuse to associate with me. That's cool. Heh.Heh But I do love a good rain. Eh . . . Maybe the rain is playing my song, but I'm just too tone deaf to recognize it. I really enjoyed this read. ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |

Thank for the kind words Jerry. Oh I think those angels in the rain talk to everyone some time or other. Hehe I don't know whether you're tone deaf or not but it doesn't matter, I think you've heard those angels before. Song's about a guy that likes to drift from town to town but always gets involved with a woman and he always ends up liking, almost loving her but just can't settle down, it's not in him. He feels bad because he's hurt some wonderful people but also knows he wouldn't be the best thing for them. Hitchhiking along the road it starts to rain and he starts to reflect on them..... As a song it works good if you can get the timing the way I wrote the music. Thanks for the visit. true love never looks after it's own interests |

What a wonderful way to live the experience of walking in the rain, dear Eric! I am sure this song will melt many a heart when you'll sing it! Just beautiful! Love, Margherita "Forget every touch or sound that did not teach you how to dance." |

I'd like to hear Don Williams sing this, e Nice lyrics, in the true country fashion, not the pickup with the confederate flag on the aerial, and the bed full of beer cans stuff...:-) Thanks for the post. |

Margherita I agree, there's something about walking in the rain that brings out the sad reflections from the past. Tried to capture that in song but it's a hard one. Always appreciate your wonderfully perceptive, kind replies. Eric true love never looks after it's own interests |

Thanks Ice. True enough it doesn't have all those things. Tried my best to capture the emotion. Is Don Williams still alive. Wow! Hey, I agree, I'd love to hear him sing it for a lot of reasons. Thanks again Eric true love never looks after it's own interests |

Yann, what a nice perceptive reply. I like how you mention a deep voice. That's what I was trying to capture, that voice from within. Thank you. Eric true love never looks after it's own interests |
