Song Description:
A lovely, swaying rendition of The Cascades' 1963 hit from the standpoint of an abandoned lover begging his only company -- the rain -- for understanding and to carry his regrets to his departed girlfriend. Nice upright bass and what sounds like a 12-string guitar woven into the musical fabric.
