Double Rainbow - Stacey Kent

Listen

The rain is falling on the roses

The fragrance drifts across the garden

Like the scent of some forgotten melody

This melody belongs to you

Belongs to me, belongs to no one

See the way the crimson petals

Scatter when the wind blows

Ah!

The secret sigh of love

That suddenly the heart knows

See how a robin’s there among the puddless

And, hopping through the misty rain drops

He’s come to tell us it is spring

Look at the double rainbow

The rain is silver in the sun light

A fleeting fox is in the garden

Rain sweet lovin’mother rain

That soaks the earth

That swells the streams

That cleans the sky

And brings the blue

See how the jasmin tree is all in flower!

The little brook of clever waters

Flows into a vast river

Ah!

you belong to no one

Ah!

you belong to no one
