Rain pours
Scores and scores
Of droplets fall
Watch them all
Scatter across the lawn
From dusk till dawn
On and on
When will it stop?
My roof is leaking
I need a mop

The music plays
The silence dies
The tune is soft
Close your eyes
It lifts your spirits
It makes you smile
Dulls the pain
For a little while
When the silence returns
And the music ends
That's the thing about songs
You can play them again

Do you love her because she's beautiful?
Or is she beautiful because you love her?

They paint the truth with colorful words
Dress it in pretty metaphors
Make it sing ryhmes
And dance in meter

Because the
Dull
Drab
Flat
Frozen truth
Isn't enough

I reach out and touch the stars
I run across the sea
I do the impossible
Though the impossible can never be
They say never give up on your dreams
It's funny that they say that
Because my dream is reality
I'm trapped inside this fantasy world
Reality is veiled in mist
Who can resist
The lure of the unreal world?
When in reality
The stars are always out of reach
And one drowns in the sea
So I will not pursue my dreams
For pursuit of reality is madness
And all dreams are vanity
And I must preserve my sanity
