Like a Gentle Friend

© 1975 Tom Shindler

1. Rainy sidewalks, rainy streets
   Splashin’ to the rhythm of my wandering feet.
   Silent and peaceful all day long.
   Hear the gentle rhythm of the raindrops song.
2. Rain, rain, Falling down
   Wash the earth with your gentle sound
   Rain, rain, giving birth
   Bringing springtime to all the earth.
3. A faithful friend, you follow me,
   Fill my thoughts with your melody.
   From the mountains to the sea,
   Even in the city, you come singin’ to me.
4. You make the noise to disappear,
   Splashin’ water is all I hear
   Fill the gutters with little streams,
   Send my thoughts through a million dreams.
5. Morning Rain, come again,
   Wash my soul like a gentle friend.
   Fill my mind, let my feelings flow.
   I never thank you enough you know
6. Morning Rain, come again,
   Wash my soul like a gentle friend.
   (hum this line)
   I never thank you enough you know
   I never thank you enough…
