Walking In The Rain
山口由子 Lyrics

The song "Walking in the Rain," performed by Japanese pop singer Yumiko Yamaguchi, is a melancholic ballad that tells the story of a woman's last moments with her lover before their inevitable breakup. The lyrics paint a picture of an evening where the rain is falling and the couple is holding onto their love for the last time. The song begins with the line "Sweet kisses smell like tobacco," indicating the couple's closeness, followed by the line "The evening when it started to rain."

As the rain continues to pour, the lovers seek refuge underneath an umbrella as they sense their relationship is about to end with a sad premonition. The lyrics express the idea that love is like a fleeting game that lasts only two hours, foreshadowing their limited time together. The chorus repeatedly sings "goodbye my love," emphasizing the finality of their relationship.

The lyrics describe a memory of a date they had on a hill in a park, and the desire to return to that moment, as if it was the starting point of their relationship. The song touches the listeners' hearts as it describes the pain of letting go and hoping for a chance encounter in the future, where they will be able to laugh once again.
