Walking in the Rain/Wonderful World
She’s under an umbrella near a parking lot and a factory or something. She’s walking from a light at the car. Her name is Sue. And she is wearing a yellow and white top with a pillow-clouds design and cotton pants that are green or maroon.
Sue is heading to work. She is a private nurse and her workplace is more religious. She’s also carrying an umbrella that blind people wanted $35 for a donation.
It looks like Sue is walking and her feet got wet because of water on the street. There is a sewer in the street and that is where the water is coming from. That and the snow because it is winter and November in Arizona. The bag she is carrying should be plastic or leather, leather because it will last longer.
It's 1970 and Sue is conservative with her clothes. She may be a model because she is nice, thin and comfortable looking. Someone offered her a new pair of boots so she could model them.
The cars in the background each have a design and they are from the 1950’s and 1998. They are worth $2,000 and they depreciate from the salt on the streets. The cars also might get flooded from the water so you might have to use the emergency break for safety. The cars won’t move if they get wet, they will flood.
There is something dark on the street . . . a shadow or a hole from the sewer. It looks like the ice, water, slush = snow! Snow in Arizona!? You have to take a detour because of the hole. Work too much until you get back.
Walking in the rain . . . I’m singing in the rain, just singing in the rain. . .
A rainbow even though it is cloudy. It looks like she is walking near a corner. Sue doesn’t have any family because she has nobody with her. She’s too busy working.
But she is walking out of the nursery to get her little brother named Frank Tambee. She’s holding the umbrella so they don’t get soaked. She walked 20 blocks.
Sue is 25 years old and carries a lot of tension in her shoulders because of the rain and dampness – it goes right through her. She will cover up to feel better.
