看上去象雨

谨以此歌献给Thom Manno

七年前听到这首Grateful Dead 歌，如此凄美，对朋友说，将来我死了，就把这首歌做我的funeral song. 那个朋友听了觉得这主意不错，因为他为自己葬礼选的歌也是Grateful Dead 的， 叫Morning Dew。

七年后的这几天，得知老朋友Thom去世的消息后，即使是在阳台上看阳光灿烂，夕阳落海，还是止不住的感到天空里湿凉的雨意。想起这首歌，总在脑子里播放。

这是我这几天最真切的感受，The rain is gonna come, oh it surely looks like rain.

看上去象雨，看上去象雨。。。。。。心情被这场雨浇的很湿，想来，这首歌的凄凉和美丽，和Thom的离去一样伤，一样沉。 就把这首歌送给先走的人吧！！！

（Lyrics）

Awoke today, felt your side of the bed;
The covers were still warm where you been layin'.
You were gone, oh gone, my heart was filled with dread;
You might not be sleeping here again.
But it's alright cause I love you, and that's not going to change.
Run me around and make me hurt again and again.
But I'll still sing you love songs, written in the letters of your name.
The rain is gonna come, oh it surely looks like rain

Did you ever waken to the sound of street cats making love?
You guess from the cries you were listening to a fight.
Well you know, oh know, haste is the last thing they're thinking of.
You know they're only tryin' to make it thru the night.

I only want to hold you, I don't want to tie you down
Or fit you in the lines I might've drawn.
It's just that I, oh I, have gotten used to havin' you around.
The landscape would be empty, if you were gone;
But it's alright cause I love you, and that's not going to change.
Run me around and make me hurt again and again.
But I'll still sing you love songs, written in the letter of your name.
The rain is gonna come, oh it surely looks like rain.
