Lyrics

Murray McLauchlan Singin ‘Whispering Rain’
________________________________________
It’s late at night and you’re all alone
In front of your colour tv
The rain outside is no place to hide
To await your destiny

You try to remain consistently clear
But in the back of your mind
You can hear Murray McLauchlan
Singin’ it one more time

Careless emotion, rising and falling
Is that old familiar line
You can hear Murray McLauchlan
Singin’ Whispering Rain

Imagine yourself on a French boulevard
Seated at a sidewalk café
Along comes m’oiselle and you’re feelin’ like hell
Cause she’s with her new boyfriend Renee

You try to remain consistently calm
But in the back of your mind
You can hear Murray McLauchlan
Singin’ it one more time

Careless emotion, rising and falling
Is that old familiar line
You can hear Murray McLauchlan
Singin’ Whispering Rain

Imagine yourself in an Art Gallery
A quondam friend of ours
As you gaze at the Swan on a Polka Dot Lawn
You begin to see the red flow’rs

You try to remain a consistent art critic
But in the back of your mind
You can hear Murray McLauchlan
Singin’ it one more time

Careless emotion, rising and falling
Is that old familiar line
You can hear Murray McLauchlan
Singin’ Whispering Rain
