============================================================

Sitting all alone I hear the tapping of the rain

Dance ballerinam dance

Talking with the rain in some small city I feel the pain,

She's dancing all alone

Thinking how we'd wait together

sitting by the fire in weather just like this

Playing lovers' games; hoping the rain would never end

And I thought about the night we met

How the gentle rain fell down, kissed the ground

Then I knew no one ever could take your place

Sitting all alone I hear the tapping of the rain

Dance ballerina, dance

Talking with the rain in some small city I feel the pain,

she's dancing all alone

Nothing seems the same but the falling rain

You've gone away

Walking by the sea; sitting beneath a tree;

You are not here...

And I thought about the night we met

How the gentle rain fell down, kissed the ground

Then I knew no one ever could take your place

============================================================

Sentada sozinha, eu ouço o cair da chuva

Dance bailarina, dance

Conversando com a chuva em alguma cidade pequena eu sinto a dor,

Ela está dançando sozinha

Pensando em como nós esperamos juntos

sentados perto do fogo, com o tempo assim como este

Jogar os jogos dos amantes; esperando que a chuva não fosse acabar nunca

E eu pensei na noite que nós nos conhecemos

Como a chuva suave prostrando-se, beijou o chão

Então eu sabia que ninguém poderia tomar o seu lugar

Sentada sozinha, eu ouço o cair da chuva

Dance bailarina, dance

Conversando com a chuva em alguma cidade pequena eu sinto a dor,

ela está dançando sozinha

Nada parece ser o mesmo, mas a chuva cai

Você se foi

Caminhando junto ao mar; sentado debaixo de uma árvore;

Você não está aqui ...

E eu pensei na a noite que nos conhecemos

Como a chuva suave prostrando-se, beijou o chão

Então eu sabia que ninguém poderia tomar o seu lugar

This album was far ahead of its time. The editing is pretty good. I wish Stevie had devoted more time to her than Syreeta in '72. I love the orchestral power behind her pure bird like voice. It is brings a brightness to the project. This album is what attracted Stevie to her and eventually got him to offer her the job with Wonderlove and then her come back album, "Perfect Angel".
