A Certain Sadness

(album: A Certain Smile, A Certain Sadness - 1967)

Look out the window at that rainstorm!
I've let the wind blow up a brainstorm
And now I'm wond'ring whether weather like this gets you, too

It may go on like this for hours
Too late in fall for April showers
So while we're caught here
Got a thought or two I need to share with you

Here goes...

Darling, tell me now
Have I done wrong somehow
That you won't look at me
Needn't point it out
Can't keep my wits about
When you won't look at me

Is there something I oughta know
You're finding hard to say?
Well, there's just a trace hiding on your face
And I've learned it that way...

Just one other soul that really knows my soul
And you won't look at me
Don't that take the prize, how much I love those eyes
And they won't look at me...

Now the rain is gone, but something lingers on
A certain sadness here now that the sky is clear
And it's also clear
Yes, it's all so clear to me now

And I can't help but fear
That certain sadness, here to stay
