raindrops...

i arrived back in Singapore from the other side of the Pacific after a time-warping experience... air-travel is still a mysterious thing for me... particularly if it involves multiple time-zones... and if you think that procrastinating is a good way to kill time?! try flying... you could erase days!

it's been raining all night... thunderstormy... and unsettling. i don't think one ever gets such rains in europe, although, i have experienced monsoon-like rains in germany for weeks and weeks and getting soaked to the skin. it has literally been pouring buckets... the sky's all misty and grey... clogged up with the angst of all the world's troubles.

everyone needs a bit of catharsis... and i suppose the earth, too.

Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed,
Nothin' seems to fit
Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'

So, I just did me some talkin' to the sun
And I said I didn't like the way he got things done,
Sleepin' on the job
Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'

But there's one thing I know
The blues they send to meet me won't defeat me
It won't be long 'til happiness steps up to greet me

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red
Cryin's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothin's worryin' me

(trumpet solo)

It won't be long 'til happiness steps up to greet me

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red
Cryin's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothin's worryin' me
