      MusicEnglish #3 - Kathy's Song, Eva Cassidy: Use of Metaphor of Rain

      I hear the drizzle of the rain
      Like a memory it falls
      Soft and warm continuing
      Tapping on my roof and walls
      My mind’s distracted and confused
      My thoughts are many miles away
      They lie with you when you’re asleep
      Kiss you when you start the day
      And as I watch the drops of rain
      Weave their weary paths and die
      I know that I am like the rain
      There before the grace of you go I

      Eva is looking through her window at the rainy day outside. She listens to the rain falling gently on her house. Maybe she is trying to work, but she can’t concentrate. The rainy day is making her feel sad and she is missing someone she loves. She wants to be with her loved one but she can’t. She feels like the rain, as it falls slowly down the window, tired and helpless after its long journey. All she has are her thoughts and a wish to be together again.
