It's Raining Today
Walker - “A lot to do with my teenage years. We are all flower/hippy now. My teenage days were in the beatnik era. I was involved in progressive jazz and writers like Jack Kerouac. Hitch-hiking over America. Meeting a lot of people with whom I had ephemeral relationships. A song about meeting people, knowing them about a week, falling in love - and moving on. A very beautiful logical state of mind. Breaking relationships is always a very traumatic experience, it wasn’t then.”

It's Raining Today
by Scott Walker

It's raining today
And I'm just about to forget the train window girl
That wonderful day we met
She smiles through the smoke from my cigarette

It's raining today
But once there was summer and you
And dark little rooms
And sleep in late afternoons
Those moments descend on my windowpane

I've hung around here too long
Listenin' to the old landlady's hard-luck stories
You out of me me out of you
We go like lovers
To replace the empty space
Repeat our dreams to someone new

It's raining today
And I watch the cellophane streets
No hang-ups for me
'Cause hang-ups need company
The street corner girl's a cold trembling leaf

It's raining today
It's raining today
