Fairport Convention - Eastern rain

Rain comes from the east one night, we ^Gm7watch it come To ^Chang like beaded curtains till the ^Gm7morning sun ^Ab Water dripping from our clothes ^F You, with raindrops on your nose ^Eb Ask me sadly, "Please don't go a^Cway, love" ^Eb "Till the rain is done," I say, "I'll ^Cstay now"

Rain outside, but inside we don't ^Gm7mind at all ^CShadows by the fire, slowly ^Gm7climb and fall ^Ab Kisses fade and leave no trace ^F Whispers vanish into space ^Eb None will send me on a chase to ^Cnowhere ^Eb What matters if I were the first to ^Cgo there?

Morning comes up from the east, we ^Gm7watch it come And ^Cfar away now rolls the angry ^Gm7rain god's drum ^Ab You, with daybreak in your eyes ^F Afraid to speak, for telling lies ^Eb I watch you search for some reply to ^Clend me ^Eb But when the rain is done, we'll stop pre^Ctending
