: Hi King Richfed!

: You're about my age, aren't you, sir? I am right in the middle of doing the final touches of The Scorpion Child, the story dateline is 1985, and she is in the kitchen, top floor, rainy day, overlooking the ellipse of Central Park... but my old notes are lost.... can not find the words to Raindrops Falling on my head... something like that... my God, the tune is playing in my memory, now, and originally, when I was writing this novel, during this scene, Raindrops was playing right next to me on the tape recorder....

: Oh help, will ya, ye King?
: You were a musician, right? Age of Aquarius and all that?
: Come, please, come through for old Auntie Vita!!!
: post the words and who was the singer?/ ye gods! he was so good looking, so sincere... in the 70s...
: OK, am awaiting your help!

I'm sooooooooooooo much younger than the Aquarius crowd but my art teacher sang this over & over & over - I guess he liked it.

Raindrops keep falling on my head
And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed
Nothin' seems to fit
Those raindrops are falling on my head, they keep falling

So I just did me some talkin' to the sun
And I said I didn't like the way he' got things done
Sleepin' on the job
Those raindrops are falling on my, head they keep falling

But there's one thing I know
The blues he sends to meet me won't defeat me
It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me

Raindrops keep falling on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red
Crying's not for me
Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothing's worrying me.
