A Bursting Memory Closet.

Dick Lee - Orchard Boulevard

the sudden storm evokes a memory
one rainy night, a man stands under a tree.
he's cursing, swearing for not staying in
and she appears from nowhere, soaked to the skin.

There are no taxis in sight.
it looks as if they will be there half a night.
then, lightning lights up the sky
she runs across to him - and stops -
and she smiles.

somewhere on orchard boulevard
someone stole his heart
sometime ago
somewhere on orchard boulevard
someone needs to find the love that started from there.

the night is slowly turning into day
and all the thunderclouds have rained away
they sit along the kerb and talk like friends.
until one silent moment, then he takes her hand

there in the light of the dawn
two people know a special love is born
then as a cab goes along,
they kiss - she says a soft goodbye
then she's gone.
