There was a time when you could find him Just by staring at the sky A perfect stranger out of nowhere Nothing to do, nothing to hide And he disappears today Where he goes he cannot say The silver rain is all you see You lost your lover It used to be so easy baby Just to find you in the clear But the streets have ghosts that call you back Before you get too near The days that dare to never end You'd whisper baby, please do it again Now it's an echo without refrain You lost your lover I seem to recall sometimes last fall Brown leaves crowned around your head Now I'm back in town and I'm looking around Will I ever see your eyes again? Where did you disappear today? I turn the corner and I see you fade In silver rain with a paper key You lost your lover
