Rain
~~~~
And I was so much younger then, there where the young men were
I had it all and more... so much more...
Until the clouds came in
And I watched from a distance how they touched the shore
Of my island, of the laughing sea
I saw them climb my walls and I was frightened
And I gained nothing besides the rain...
Write my name in dust, write my name in heaven
Alas the sun always shines too late
Write my name in dust, write my name in heaven
Alas the sun always shines too late
Where have all the poets gone since the clouds have stayed
I had it all...
Now that the summer's gone
Will they stay with me, will you stay with me
Through times and lives and rain and shine
We'll meet again, like we have met before
Maybe I'm wrong but all seemed better
Yesterday, yesterday, yesterday, jesters day
Echoeing through an empty world
And I gained nothing besides the rain...
Our dreams mean nothing once you're not here
I swear I'll never dream again without you to stop the rain
Like circles in the water I know you'll be a wave once you'll reach the shore
And I promise I will try to catch you there, please stop the rain
If I could give the world, you know I would, just to see you one more time
So many things that are left to say, g****** the rain...
