Janis Ian After The Rain Lyrics

I hear the sirens calling. It's Saturday night again Outside the stars are falling Smells like rain on the edge of lightening Distant thunder - I remember...

far from these city streets, my heart beats a distant memory of children in the silos Ribboned highways where the corn grows skyscraper high, I close my eyes

and time stands still It's the magic of the heart Tonight you will be lying in my arms The memory is always the same after the rain, after the rain After the rain

Sometimes the walls are papered with the sound of neighbor's loving in the night And I feel the heat rising from the street Years go by here inside
Rain blows against the window Echoes through this empty room of mine A picture on the dresser smiles at me as I read your letters Line by line, I close my eyes

and time stands still It's the magic of the heart Tonight you will be lying in my arms The memory is always the same after the rain, after the rain After the rain

It's a restless moon traveling through the clouds And it shines on me, like it shines on you and for a while, we cross the miles

and time stands still It's the magic of the heart Tonight you will be lying in my arms The memory is always the same after the rain, after the rain After the rain
