lyrics

Don’t remember how we got to Redding.
Thinking now it must have been the train.
All those days of hitching rides, and all those nights spent by your side
And all that I remember now is that last day in the rain.

You said something harsh, or maybe I did
Cold and wet and no one else to blame
You only turned and walked away, or was it me that left that day?
Then we lived for half a lifetime since – that last day in the rain

I’m seeing now these roses from your garden
In that special vase, arranged with loving care
The walls hold all the many little treasures that you saved
From journeys that I’ll never get to share

Forty-four years later in the city
I turned a corner – stopped - for it was you
A momentary hesitation, an hour of dawning realization
A day in which we found ourselves feeling love renew

We talked about our children, wife, and husband
And even, briefly, why we’re now alone
We’ll never know what might have been, but what we had could not have been
If things had ended differently… all those years ago

You come and sit beside me by the window
To have lived a life without you now seems strange
But now at least I know I was not the only one
Haunted by that last day in the rain
