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.

Help the needy and show them the way.
Human kindness is overflowing,
and I think it’s gonna rain today…..by Bette Midler
stuff i tell my sister 
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. 🙂 http://thatgirlwhoreadsbooks.com/2013/01/18/awards/
Beautiful connection of image and words — how inspiring!
🙂 thank you! have a great weekend! ♥
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…)
