The rain sings its melancholy sonata Cold rhythms on the window Wanting nothing Living only to fall Yet reflected in the eyes of dreamers Caught up in a lovers wasteland Excused as pathetic, as fallacious Feared for its callousness The wind humming, indifferent The clouds forming, dark and fearful Brooding over the greyed universe Obscuring the sun, the light, the peaceful warmth Leaving solitude and oppression Leaving fears of fate and significance Leaving drops in lovers’ eyes And gleams in lovers’ tears A lonely rowboat lies on a dock Beaten by the stormy rain Afraid to sail and tethered to the wooden quay Held there only by a frayed knot Maybe it will make it through the storm Maybe it will see the shining sun The gleaming water The harmonious songs of fishermen But maybe it will sink Drowned by the noise and the ferocity and the fearful wrath of the storm The tempest Rage Maybe it will succumb Maybe its fears will sink it Lost to a grey world Drifting forevermore

Cold Rain
The rain sings its melancholy sonata Cold rhythms on the window Wanting nothing Living only to fall Yet reflected in the eyes of dreamers Caught up in a lovers wasteland Excused as pathetic, as fallacious Feared for its callousness The wind humming, indifferent The clouds forming, dark and fearful Brooding over the greyed universe Obscuring the sun, the light, the peaceful warmth Leaving solitude and oppression Leaving fears of fate and significance Leaving drops in lovers’ eyes And gleams in lovers’ tears A lonely rowboat lies on a dock Beaten by the stormy rain Afraid to sail and tethered to the wooden quay Held there only by a frayed knot Maybe it will make it through the storm Maybe it will see the shining sun The gleaming water The harmonious songs of fishermen But maybe it will sink Drowned by the noise and the ferocity and the fearful wrath of the storm The tempest Rage Maybe it will succumb Maybe its fears will sink it Lost to a grey world Drifting forevermore
