《爱之雨》(1980年作)
林方
雨点点点滴滴滴落雨树上
点点,滴滴,滴落雨树
撑起的绿伞之上
伞在雨中,人在伞下
爱情,在雨里,还是雨外?
点点,滴滴,雨的鼓手
敲打三百六十度的梦幻
爱情,韵律中滋长
任淋也淋不湿的
爱情任淋也淋不熄
爱情之雨,点点
滴滴,来路和去处
均已迷失在雨中
我们在伞下,唯爱情
长在雨外
旋开绿色小伞,我们
旋多少转的金唱碟
点点滴滴音乐之雨
点滴着爱情的点滴
爱情恒在音乐中
即使泛滥,犹撑荷叶的
绿伞,即使葵花失去
仰望,我久久仰望着你
听音乐雨中,爱情
点滴点滴的节奏
爱情,在雨中,还是雨外?
伞在雨中,人在伞下
撑起的绿伞之上
点点,滴滴,音乐之雨
点滴着爱情之雨点滴着……
