Eivør , Rain (stripped back acoustic version)







Rain

There's a shallow river running down the hill
Moving softly through the valley where I live.
When it rains the river runs so deep.
When the water is clear and still like a mirror
I can see you on the surface of the river.
When it rains the river runs so deep
In the rain I weep.
Where will I find you when I need you my long lost friend?
Bring back the mirror so I can see your face again.
When it rains the river runs so deep
In the rain I weep
In the rain
Into the river deep.

Charles Bukowski Live 1970s Poem Rain





Charles Bukowski - Rain 


a symphony orchestra. 
there is a thunderstorm, 
they are playing a Wagner overture 
and the people leave their seats under the trees 
and run inside to the pavilion 
the women giggling, the men pretending calm, 
wet cigarettes being thrown away, 
Wagner plays on, and then they are all under the 
pavilion. the birds even come in from the trees 
and enter the pavilion and then it is the Hungarian 
Rhapsody #2 by Lizst, and it still rains, but look, 
one man sits alone in the rain 
listening. the audience notices him. they turn 
and look. the orchestra goes about its 
business. the man sits in the night in the rain, 
listening. there is something wrong with him, 
isn't there? 
he came to hear the 
music.
