Rain on tin eyes
When tears are smiling through the rain
The odd comes warming up the pain
The night comes sooner every day.
Yet the summer now is on the way
Stay dark things, leave me at rest
While daylight searching, I do my best
The future stretches endlessly, one inch from my face
Yet if I move to travel with it, I leave behind just space
Into darkness throw yourself, the day holds for me no light
When all these years that I was wrong - was I right,
Come rain shield the pain and tears from those I love,
Pour down your comfort and warmth from above
I am as a lonely wave that no one ever sees.
The wind that softly bends the grass and whispers through the trees
Have you heard the rain upon tin eyes
Look quickly while you can, the storm as always dies.
