Broken windows and empty hallways,
a pale dead moon in a sky streaked with grey.
Human kindness is overflowing,
and I think it’s gonna rain today.
Scarecrows dressed in the latest styles,
the frozen smiles to chase love away.
Human kindness is overflowing,
and I think it’s gonna rain today.
Lonely, lonely.
Tin can at my feet,
I think I’ll kick it down the street.
That’s the way to treat a friend.
Bright before me the signs implore me:
Help the needy and show them the way.
Human kindness is overflowing,
and I think it’s gonna rain today.
Lonely, so lonely.
Tin can at my feet,
I think I’ll kick it down the street.
That’s the way to treat a friend.

Help the needy and show them the way.
Human kindness is overflowing,
and I think it’s gonna rain today…..by Bette Midler
Nice combo of a great image and Bette – well done!
thanks ~A favorite song that immediately came to mind when I saw this old building.
I do love that photo!
thanks! Adair, Oklahoma!
Love the photo.. did you break the glass?? This poem or song’s words are just fantastic… and here I thought you wrote them….
haha! Well…if I’d just thought of these words first…I’d have written them!
really nice picture that you have painted through words…
Bette is the songwriter and am the admirer….thanks so much
wonderful piece
thanks! ♥
broken window and I think it’s gonna rain…Murphy’s Law!
haha!
I also thought you wrote the lyrics.
Broken windows…..broken lives. I think you should take more pictures and write your own thoughts. You are good at that.
Thank you, Delores. I am also lazy….and let Bette do the talking for me on this one. LOL! ♥
Your photography is beautiful, Paula. Absolutely gorgeous.
Thanks so much. I’m hit and miss…but I sure do enjoy trying! ♥ Appreciate you!
I’ve nominated you for a Liebster award! I love your blog.

Beautiful connection of image and words — how inspiring!
I like the lyrics, but I’m not familiar with the song… Great picture!
Hmmm…I thought I’d sing it for you….but instead I’ll let Bette do it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2H9HEyjzog4 From the movie “Beaches”. Love every song in the movie except for one. If you watch it, you can tell me which one that is! lol!
I listened and I have heard it before… it’s beautiful.
I have also seen the movie Beaches, but that was a long, long time ago… (it was funny, sad, great and again, sad…)
