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

    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.

    I have no words...

  22. M.... S....

    Very beautiful a beautiful video to a stunning song, John Martyn you left a legacy

  23. K.... C....

    Stunning!

  24. k.... ....

    your video making skills are up there with the best mate. a total pleasure to watch.

  25. D.... B....

    The video fits beautifully, and must have taken helluva lot of work.

    I was just thinking how Martyn's work - I am a fan, btw - is cannot be categorised.

    I suspect that he suffered commercially because of that, because radio stations like categories.

    But he made music for himself, first and foremost, I think, and some of us appreciate it more than we do those who make 'music' for the music industry.

    I hope that makes sense.

  26. G.... K....

    Wow, how good is that. Brilliant. Love it.

  27. F.... A....

    Even lonely people can fall in love ... if only they stop and watch the rain falling .

  28. L.... P....

    Sublime...

  29. L.... ....

    One of John's most beautiful performances and a lovely blend of fluid sound and image. You're right to be proud - awesome work. Thanks for sharing! Your videos add another dimension to John's music. Beautiful illusion :-)

  30. U.... ....

    Amazing blend of liquid visuals and music. I'm intrigued by how you did this so I'm guessing you used movie software FX filters over the real time ballet dancers right? I'm impressed - again!

    I think, now I love rainy days ...
