about

Ted decided to cover this Randy Newman song at the suggestion of Broadway legend Betty Buckley. He decided to keep the phrasing disconnected and ambiguous unlike some more popular renditions of the song. He later noted that Mr. Newman's own performances vary in this respect and have evolved over the years.

lyrics

Broken windows and empty hallways
A pale dead moon in a sky streaked with grey
Human kindness is overflowing
And I think it's going to rain today

Scarecrows dressed in the latest styles
With frozen smile to chase love away
Human kindness is overflowing
And I think it's going to rain today

Lonely
Lonely

Tin can at my feet
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 going to rain today
