20050227 / Fool In The Rain

Alvarado St. / Monterey, CA


Well there’s a light in your eye that keeps shining
Like a star that can’t wait for the night
I hate to think I’ve been blinded baby
Why can’t I see you tonight?

And the warmth of your smile starts a-burnin’
And the thrill of your touch gives me fright
And I’m shaking so much, really yearning
Why don’t you show up, make it all right?
Yeah, it’s all right.

And if you promised you’d love so completely
And you said you would always be true
You swore that you would never leave me, baby:
What ever happened to you?

And you thought it was only in movies
As you wish all your dreams would come true
It ain’t the first time believe me, baby
I’m standin here feeling blue
Yeah I’m blue

Now I will stand in the rain on the corner
I’ll watch the people go shuffling downtown
Another ten minutes no longer
And then I’m turning around

The clock on the wall’s moving slower
My heart it sinks to the ground
And the storm that I thought would blow over
Clouds the light of the love that I found

Now my body is starting to quiver
And the palms of my hands getting wet
I’ve got no reason to doubt you baby,
It’s all a terrible mess

I’ll run in the rain till I’m breathless
When I’m breathless I’ll run till I drop, hey
The thoughts of a fool’s kind of careless
I’m just a fool waiting on the wrong block

(Jones/Page/Plant)

Beautiful colours ... loved the lyrics!

Well, Dawn...I hate to admit it, but 'Rainy Days & Mondays' was in my head as I shot this. Thankfully, the iPod shuffled to Zeppelin's 'Kashmir' not too long afterward and 'Fool In The Rain' came to mind. :)

not much better than plant/jones/page lyrics..
The view of the wet, reflective rectangles of the walkway give such a sense of motion.. I feel as if I'm running.
What from I wonder?

I like it!

Image caught my eye for the lines/reflection and that bit of warmth in the stone.. It goes perfectly with those lyrics too. Soo.. which came first.. the lyrics or the photo? (hands Chris a cd with the Lion Sleeps tonight on it.. or some wierd cheery 60's music. *grin*)

Hey, that looks like it was taken at my house. Rained all day here. I love the lyrics as well they fit perfectly with your image. I like the reflection in the stone here and the wet look. Very nice Chris.

Perfect image for the lyrics, Chris. It gives me the impression of looking down right in front of the person who is running in the rain. A person's eye view, I guess. I like this image a lot.
