Rainy Day in Taipei

Ode to rain

It’s a rainy day, in the heart of Taipei,
All the clouds are gray, snails all come out to play.
It’s a rainy day, in the heart of Taipei,
It is always cool when the sun is away

Skyscrapers that never sleep
Buzzing cars on the streets
Metros that drown the noise
Loitering though cityscapes

Splashing with my boots on
I cross the sidewalk
Rain is always upbeat
Disco dancing away the heat

It’s a rainy day, in the heart of Taipei,
All the clouds are gray, snails all come out to play.
It’s a rainy day, in the heart of Taipei,
It is always cool when the sun is away

Buildings pulse with neon lights
Lanterns drift into the sky
Music is in the clear air
In the busy atmosphere

Crickets sing, leaves of trees shine
Birds hide in nests under the roofs
Rain washes everything away
Clears things for a brand new day

It’s a rainy day, in the heart of Taipei,
All the clouds are gray, snails all come out to play.
It’s a rainy day, in the heart of Taipei,
It is always cool when the sun is away
