a certain sadness

carlos eduardo lyra/john court


Look out the window at that rainstorm
I've let the wind blow up a brainstorm
And now I'm wondering whether weather like this gets you too

It may go on like this for hours
Too late in fall for April showers
So I will court you
Got a thought or two I need to share with you

here goes...

Darling tell me now
have I done wrong somehow
that you won't look at me?

Needn't point it out
can't keep my wits about
when you won't look at me

Is there something I ought to know
you find it hard to say?
Well there's just a trace hiding on your face
& I've learnt it that way

Just another soul that really knows my soul
& you won't look at me
Does that take the prize
how much I love those eyes?
& they won't look at me

Now the rain has gone but something lingers on
a certain sadness here now that the sky is clear

& it's oh so clear
yes it's oh so clear to me now

& I can't help but fear that certain sadness here to stay...
