Lyrics for When The May Rain Comes

Green are the streets The asphalt is glistening When the dust of the day Will be washed away The windows are closed And the rain is dripping From sill to sill And down to the ground When the May rain comes... Very young are the leaves Of the trees and the shrubs And tiny flowers grow! In the roadside ditch The laughter of a child Who's jumping into puddles Whilst the water trickles Right over her face When the May rain comes... And this is the morning of the year A rainy green smile After a long gloomy Pale winter night The shouting of the child Melts into rustling When the heavy rain Rushes From on the high When the May rain comes All of this shall be washed away When the May rain comes...
