Soon It’s Gonna Rain (Live at the Bon Soir, Greenwich Village, NYC - Nov. 5, 1962)

[spoken]

I forgot the song I'm going to sing now

Oh yes, I remembered it

[sung]

Hear how the wind begins to whisper

See how the leaves go streaming by

Smell how the velvet rain is falling

Out where the fields are warm and dry

Now is the time to run inside and stay

Now is the time to find a hideaway

Where we can play

Soon it's gonna rain, I can see it

Soon it's gonna rain, I can tell

Soon it's gonna rain, what are we gonna do?

Soon it's gonna rain, I can feel it

Soon it's gonna rain, I can tell

Soon it's gonna rain, what will we do with you?

We'll find four limbs of a tree

We'll build four walls and a floor

We'll bind it over with leaves

Then duck inside and play

Then we'll let it rain, we'll not feel it

Then we'll let it rain, rain pell-mell

And we'll not complain if it never stops at all

We'll live and love within our castle

Hear how the wind begins to whisper

Feel how the rain is falling now
