about

Another one of the songs Paul Levinson, Stu Nitekman, and Ira Margolis recorded when Ellie Greenwich and Mike Rashkow (see bonus) brought the trio into a studio to get down a few demos, after discovering them singing in Central Park in NYC a few weeks earlier in April 1968, and signed them to their production outfit, Pineywood Productions. (The track is not quite complete -- there was a little glitch at the end of the recording -- but most of it is there.)

lyrics

Yesterday's Rain (lyrics by Paul Levinson, 1967)

Girl don't you cry about yesterday's rain
I can give you sunshine today
Look for love and you'll find it again
Just let me show you the way

Girl don't you hide cause of yesterday's rain
I can chase the clouds from the sky
Come on outside and forget all your pain
I'll be waiting for you to come by

(bridge)
Oh, I know how much he hurt you
But can't you see I'm not him
Girl I would never desert you
So don't be afraid to give in

Now girl don't you run from yesterday's rain
Your tears are a part of the past
Just think of all the joy to be gained
by falling in love that will last

Girl don't you cry about yesterday's rain...

Trail Of Mars
by John McDaid

Superb songwriter and captivating singer. Think Dylan, Phil Ochs, and a little Tom Lehrer thrown in. "Lost in Translation" is one of my favorites, with lines like "Mango Mussolini". Paul Levinson
