the summer rain was falling but we did not care that the air was a misty warm and steamy like a enclosed terrarium as we walked the street under our red umbrella oh, sometimes we would stop and kiss the rain at times like a flowing river then, it was a gentle pitter patter soon, we came to a little cafe and taking a window table we watched as people would rush past trying to avoid the raindrops we loved clouds swirled like gauzy curtains it was quiet serenity just the two of us in the cafe watching the summer rain within a veiled haze at last we left the cafe to walk home in a gentle rain but we did not care we did not rush and we stopped to kiss often along the way we were two lovers walking in the summer rain . . .
