Al Stewart - Clifton In The Rain

Al Stewart - Clifton in the Rain



The rain came down like beads


Bouncing on the noses of the


People from the train


A flock of salty ears


Sparkled in the traffic lights


Feet squelched soggy leaves across the grain


I took my love to Clifton in the rain



And all along the way


Wanderers in overcoats with


Collars on parade


And steaming in the night


The listeners in the Troubadour


Guitar player weaves a willow strain


I took my love to Clifton in the rain



Jacqueline Bisset


I saw your movie


Wondered if you really felt that way


Do you ever fear


The images of Hollywood?


Have you felt a shadow of its pain?


I thought of you in Clifton in the rain
