John Martyn - Patterns in the Rain Lyrics

You cannot hide, not even from yourself;
Like me, you'll blame somebody else.
All alone, you'll sit and watch
The patterns in the rain.

You ask me why my colour's mainly blue.
You'll know a change is up to you.
'Till then, you'll sit and watch
The patterns in the rain.

So when you wipe away a teardrop,
Remember why it's there.
The visions that betray you
Are hidden in each tear.
If you can't believe in love,
Like a pattern in the rain,
The lonely game you're playing
Will haunt you once again.

So don't believe you're always on your own;
Your love will surely bring you home.
Once again, you'll sit and laugh
At patterns in the rain.

You'll feel the rain,
And know it's there to wash away the pain.
It's easy when your loved to start again.
It's easy when you're loved..

Once more you'll laugh.
- You cannot hide, not even from yourself;
Just like me, you'll blame somebody else.
All alone, you'll sit and watch
The patterns in the rain.
All alone, you' ll sit and watch
The pattern in the rain..
