Walking in the Rain
They wandered the avenues of Paris , Two circus side-shows Laughing in the rain , Savoring the moment . For they knew
The long September days are hard on hearts , The merry November mornings send people far and wide ,
Far enough to watch the magician down the lane With the twinkle in his eye ;
Far enough to fly without a parachute But be not afraid at all ;
Far enough to forget one summer love And leave a fool in the rain ;
And so she left , to her cozy little cottage , Leaving him a fool in the rain .
