kids wear raincoats & play in fountains
in the ljubljana rain
lovers don emergency ponchos
in the ljubljana rain
streets are slippery & cobblestones weary
in the ljubljana rain
maps turn soggy & poets wander
in the ljubljana rain
when the rain tumbles down in july …
lake bled fills with stones & sparrows’ heads look stylish
in the ljubljana rain
mist makes a milkshake of the sky & words fall like acid
in the ljubljana rain
like a train in vain …
listen to the backpackers snoring
in the ljubljana rain
send it all home on a postcard
in the ljubljana rain
well i’m sleeping in a hotel doorway …
(i’ll blame it on a certain fame)
in the ljubljana rain
in the ljubljana rain
yeah these lonesome petalled shambolic mystifying
sweet deep breaths of ljubljana rain
