Subject: In the rainy season, waiting for the train From: Holly Tannen Date: 13 May 97 - 02:38 AM One of my readers is looking for a song that begins, It was in the rainy season, waiting for the train/ Leaving in the afternoon, all on your own again. Anyone know who wrote it, where she could find a recording and/or words? I'll credit you in my SONGFINDER column in Sing Out! if you let me have your full name. Thanks! Holly |

Subject: ADD: So Clear (Renbourn) From: Joe Offer Date: 29 Mar 06 - 03:55 PM Looks like Sten wins the prize. Here are the lyrics from the URL (click) Sten provided. Follow the link for comments on the song. Unfortunately, Holly no longer writes the "Songfinder" column in Sing Out!. She was replaced by Shelley Posen, who was replaced by Joe Hickerson. I like Joe, and I enjoyed Shelley's work on the column - but I miss Holly Tannen's goofiness. I've since met her a few times at San Francisco's Camp Harmony, and it has been a treat. -Joe Offer- SO CLEAR (apparently by John Renbourn) It was in the rainy season Waiting for the train Leaving in the afternoon All on your own again Do you really understand it Can you tell me why it is this way Sad lady and her portmantle With no words left to say Saving that it's only something That could happen anyway Toulouse, circus rider Turn on your childish grin Shine on through the long black night Go ride the dawn again Your eyes are stars that sweetly twinkle Aureola round your head of flame Sad story that you cannot tell Where no-one is to blame And anyhow it's only something Sure to come down with the rain Would I could hear your song so clear The words could touch the air And catch the moons relection In the colour of her hair To ease this ache of loneliness And Even now I do remember One thing more that is not told Just a slightly twisted crystal heart To keep you from the cold All up the coast along the highway Nobody there will know your name So strange how things should work out now Yet still remain the same And even though you know there's nothing That can ever really change *** Lyrics completed by Pat Henry based on personal communication with John Renbourn |
