It was raining all through the night.
Her face pale in the lightning,
Trying to conceal in my chest.
Rain battered on the window pane
With all its might to wake us up.
Embracing her close to my chest
Lips on the eyes, through the cheeks.
It rained over there too.
I remember another rainy night,
I was away, far far away,
Alone and lonely in the gloomy night
In a land beyond the seven seas.
Saw the trees embracing each other
So as to save each other from falling.
My fingers crawled through the bed,
searching solace but in vain.
I got up suddenly and rang her up
Heard her voice trembling through.
We were in a plain, lush and green
Where the trees hug in every wind.
Lightning and thunder on and on
We saw the roofs are no more on
The sky, the clouds are moving on.
She said, it rained over there too.
