Kathy's Song

Paul Simon

I hear the drizzle of the rain
Like a memory it falls
Soft and warm continuing
Tapping on my roof and walls     

And from the shelter of my mind
Through the window of my eyes
I gaze beyond the rain drenched streets
To England where my heart lies     

My mind's distracted and diffused
My thoughts are many miles away
They lie with you when you're asleep
And kiss you when you start your day     

And a song I was writing is left undone
I don't know why I spent the time
Writing song I can't believe
With words that tear and strain to rhyme      

And so you see I have come to doubt
All that I once held as true
I stand alone without beliefs
The only truth I know is you     

And as I watch the drops of rain
weave their weary paths and die
I know that I am like the rain
There but for the grace of you go I.
