A flicker in my eyes
The last shield from the veil of darkness
The rain falls softly,
Your face, my tears, the rain…
Cheers to the days when life was simple
When smiles were innocent
And words lay naked and free
While now they are in chains
Her eyes are mirrors in the night
Glassy and forgotten
The rain is pelting
Your face, my tears, the rain…
My vision whirls
The sky, the grass, the rain…
Struggling to breath, to live
And it’s all in your eyes
In the rain…
Love unbidden
Lies set free
I soared, yet now I’ve fallen
My house of cards came tumbling down
No sound in the night, alone
The sun fights a losing battle
The clouds smother him as he dies
At least the sun comes back again
The only real thing on which to hold
My existence is all I’m sure of
My loneliness and desperation
Every smile is a lie
Every tear a conviction
Your face, my tears, the rain…
