Lyrics[]
There was rain, there was wind There was spring coming in There was a feeling of approaching doom And I was happy to see you It was cold in your room and you were warm and that's all I remember And your arms were warm and that's all I remember Later on near morning We were talking about nothing A little rain, a little wind Quiet cold, cold air coming in And you were warm and that's all I remember And your arms were warm and that's all I remember And your eyes were pretty and that's all I remember And your hands were soft and that's all I remember And the hall was well-lit as I walked down it and that's all I remember And the rain was light and it felt soft on my face and that's all I remember And the car was quiet inside and that's all I remember And it was dark but the sunlight was coming and that's all I remember
