好听的英文歌曲：Kathy's song - Eva Cassidy

Eva Cassidy1963年2月2日，Eva Cassidy出生於美国马里兰州，在她的生活里充满著艺术与音乐，而民歌与爵士是他们家族最热爱的音乐类型，在Eva Cassidy的音乐当中，元素从民谣、乡村、爵士、到流行与摇滚都有，不过，总算在1996年出了她的第一张专辑【Live At Blues¹ Alley² / 後街蓝调】，这是一张现场演唱的专辑，收录当时Cassidy在「Blue Alley」这家俱乐部实况演出的作品，虽然她不是很满意自己的表现，但是这张专辑在华府一带得到了很大的回响。

I hear the drizzle³ of the rain

Like a memory it falls

Soft and warm continuing

Tapping on my roof and walls.

And from the shelter of my mind

Through the window of my eyes

I gaze beyond the rain-drenched streets

To England where my heart lies.

My mind's distracted and diffused⁴

My thoughts are many miles away

They lie with you when you're asleep

And kiss you when you start your day.

And as a song I was writing is left undone⁵

I don't know why I spend my time

Writing songs I can't believe

With words that tear and strain to rhyme.

And so you see I have come to doubt

All that I once held as true

I stand alone without beliefs

The only truth I know is you.

And as I watch the drops of rain

Weave their weary paths and die

I know that I am like the rain

There but for the grace of you go I.
