Fairport Convention - Eastern Rain Lyrics
Rain comes from the east one night
We watch it come
To hang like beaded curtains till the morning sun
Water dripping from our clothes
You, with raindrops on your nose
"Till the rain is done," I say, "I'll stay now"
Rain outside but inside we don't mind at all
Shadows by the fire
Slowly climb and fall
Kisses fade and leave no trace
Whispers vanish into space
None will send me on a chase to nowhere
What matters if I were the first to go there?
We watch it come
And far away now rolls the angry rain god's drum
You, with daybreak in your eyes
Afraid to speak for telling lies
I watch you search for some reply to lend me
But when the rain is done we'll stop pretending

Fairport Convention Eastern Rain Comments
Love this version Sandys voice was a musical instrument & this track sounds like a forgotten encchanted waterfall.
I think the other version on "What We Did on Our Holidays" i think it is superior, more tribal, more "byrdish" jefferson airplainish" vocally, more "hippie" maybe, even so this word is a bit cliché
It’s nice to hear a version of this without the fade in at the beginning!
"Induct Fairport Convention into, The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame" is on Facebook. Thanks.
i think Joni is sitting at the end of her seat, smiling, and clapping to this song of hers that Sandy Denny owned!!!!
I don't like to say this often but this version deserves viral exposure. Thanks for posting!
Perfection.
Wonderful, , hard to believe they did'nt release this!
They did release it on What We Did On Our Holidays, but with Iain Matthews sharing the vocals. I must confess--I like the duo version better.
Is this really previously unreleased? I know I've heard this version before.
It's on What We Did On Our Holidays.
It is the 'Holidays' version. But someone's tinkered with it by removing Ian Matthew's harmonizing and placing Sandy's voice and RT's guitar solo more in the foreground. Everything else is the same.
Beautiful. Sandy Denny, the only true Queen of the UK!
