Μια ακόμα σπουδαία πρόταση του stcigar, η “υπεράνω περιγραφής” performance του Tom Waits στο σόου του David Letterman, εποχής Real Gone [2004] απ’ όπου το τραγούδι.

✻

Another excellent proposal from stcigar is this “beyond description” performance by Tom Waits in David Letterman’s show, Real Gone era [2004] from which the song is taken.

❝ The rain is falling through the mist
Of sorrow that surrounded me
The sun could never thaw away
The bliss that lays around me
Let it rain, let it rain
Let your love rain down on me
Let it rain, let it rain
Let it rain, rain, rain
Her life was like a desert flower
Burning in the sun
Until I found the way to love
It’s harder said than done
Let it rain, let it rain
Let your love rain down on me
Let it rain, let it rain
Let it rain, rain, rain
Now I know the secret
There is nothing that I lack
If I give my love to you
You’ll surely give it back
Let it rain, let it rain
Let your love rain down on me
Let it rain, let it rain
Let it rain, rain, rain
Let it rain, let it rain
Let your love rain down on me
Let it rain, let it rain
Let it rain, rain, rain
Rain, rain, rain, rain
Rain, rain, rain, rain ❞
