A Hard Rain Falls on New York Town A hard rain falls on New York Town and everybody on Broadway scatter in fear I taste the salt as it comes pouring down walking down Tenth with Laura Nyro in my ears and my heart feels like it's wrapped in cotton candy 'cause I just met a woman that's right for me with just a look I was surprised I was still standing 'cause I just met a woman that's right for me yeah I just met the woman that's right for me a hard rain falls on New York Town and everybody on Broadway scatter like birds I taste the love as it comes pouring down on Tenth singing the sweetest song I've ever heard A hard rain falls on New York Town businessmen hold newspapers over their heads the fragrance of April soaks into the ground I seem to have lost the scent to follow back to bed and my heart fell like a six ton feather when she came 'cause I just met the woman that can save me with just a smile I felt my knees go down in flames 'cause I just met the woman that can save me yeah I just met the woman that can save me a hard rain falls on New York Town businessmen hold newspapers, soaking every word the fragrance of love I follow around her scent sings like the sweetest song I've ever heard Manhattan shaped like a crooked drop of rain a man like me seemed destined to wax and wane in love's bright blue sky seemingly forever what a thing to see that I'm wrong she sings to me the sweetest song I've ever heard A soft rain falls on New York Town I feel the weight on my shoulders disappear cozy in the arms of the love I just found floating down Tenth with her song in my ears and my heart feels like a child on the Fourth of July 'cause I just met the woman that's right for me now the rain mingles with these tears as they die 'cause I just met the woman that's right for me yeah I just met the woman that saved me a soft rain falls on New York Town I feel the world on my shoulders disappear lost in the arms of the love I just found floating down Tenth singing the sweetest song I've ever heard "Whatever makes you weird is probably your greatest asset"-Joss Whedon |

Your poem sings as if it dreams to be a song (which I think it just might be). It resonates the "hurry up and go faster" of NYC. And in that rush of raindrops love is found. Love this. Alison |
