Rain Song

I feel like maybe
We’re alone
In a crowd of other people
We are two souls
Four feet under the table
And I feel like maybe
The way the wind strokes your hair
Gives away the fact that you
Can’t leave your door,
(Shutting it in the face of possibility)
Without finding love.

I can’t get away from
Whatever it is
That brings down this rain.
I slip
I fall
I rise up tall
I live to try again.
And this burning of soul
Like the burning of bridges
Gets me through the day
And through the rain.

Invisible hands
Breaking me down
So I can rise on the remnants of the old
Like a phoenix
To make it to somewhere higher
Where love lives.
Play the piano
Loop it back
So I can have a repeated soundtrack
As I repeat my
Fall.

I think you are thunder
And lightning may strike me
As you herald the rain.
I slip
I fall
I rise up tall
I live to try again.
As I gaze in your eyes
Rain clouds my own
Yet I fight it back
To look at you
Through the pain.

Sometimes I think
That words make more sense
With music.
And thoughts make less sense
Alone.
Tonight out remedy,
Accompaniment
Is rain.
