Analysis of Rain
Leave me under the rain
no one will see me cry
my tears are one with the tears of the sky
Roses cry in the heavy rain
tears of the pearly dew
and I can't hold back my tears
in the memory of you
and I'm
-floating out of time
and out of space-
dreaming of you
of your face
above the clouds
my dreams soar
I'll scream the pain out
when the thunder roars
The flare of lightning in the wind
,like my hope, lasts for a few minutes
It can't chase away the darkness
dwelling in my spirit
So I'll
fake a smile
on my face
feel the coldness
without your embrace
somewhere deep in my soul
will never be the same
never again whole
and somewhere in the back of my head
the memory of you drowns in oblivious waves
how I saw you sleeping in your bed
and the next night in a grave
This life breaks like a blown away leaf
Enjoy the time you have left for it's so brief
so I guess I have to spend it alone
It's a shame you can't see me bloom
into the flower you've always dreamed
I'm young now like the freshness of the moon
and I've
never thought
you won't survive
I've always had this hope
that you were somewhere alive
Do you believe I do now sleep on your side of bed?
The rain has stopped now
but I still have a few more tears to shed
