It seems to me we lived a dream
and like any dream, I feared we would awake
I wonder if we ever would have learned to love
if only we’d known just what we had at stake
It seems to me we had it all
and foolishly we let it slip away
but there’s never any guarantee that love,
when it appears, is ever really here to stay
Sometimes I hear you in the distance crying
—howling and calling out my name
and with such a raging storm upon your lips
I wonder if they’re tears
or is it rain?
Lord, let it wash away these memories
no matter if they’re tears
or if it’s rain
It seems to me I always find
your beauty rests securely in my mind
and the love we shared still clings to me
and memories we tried to leave behind
It seems to me that we might find
our paths may cross somewhere down the line
When your eyes meet mine will I still see
feelings that still linger after all this time?
Sometimes I hear you in the distance crying
—howling and calling out my name
and with such a raging storm upon your lips
I wonder if they’re tears
or is it rain?
Lord, let it wash away these memories
no matter if they’re tears
or if it’s rain
