Tears fall down like acid rain on sun dried cheeks No longer burning with passion Once beautiful memories now are each No more than a lost reaction
And as they fall these tears erode the last of my conviction They blaze a trail along the road of my heart’s affliction
Discontent to pass me by from the sky it flows (acid rain) Acid rain (acid rain) It leaves me high and dry, and as I cry it deals its heavy blows (acid rain) Acid rain (acid rain)
The space by my side used to be taken But these days I keep no company Since the day you left my life’s been vacant Like my heart and soul – incomplete
And as I walk these steps erode the path of certainty They blaze a trail along the road I wander aimlessly
Discontent to pass me by it just keeps pouring down (acid rain) Acid rain (acid rain) It leaves me high and dry, and as I cry it I feel like I could drown (acid rain) Acid rain (acid rain)
Years pass by like stale air in the cold night breeze No longer filled with emotion It’s becoming so hard now even to breathe Consumed by my own devotion
And as they fall these tears erode the last of my conviction They blaze a trail along the road of my heart’s affliction
Discontent to pass me by time and time again (acid rain) Acid rain (acid rain) It leaves me high and dry, but still I try to move on from this pain (acid rain) Acid rain (acid rain)
Written about drowning in the feelings of despair left behind when you suffer bereavement through loss or abandonment.
