It rained

All day it rained.

As if the earth did cry,

As a result of your parting.

And I wait.


It seemed like just yesterday

That you held me in your arms.

But now you've gone away,

To fight an endless war.

And I wait


My heart fights for what it cannot have,

As my mind does not agree.

I picture you right here,

Telling me you won't leave.

And I wait.


But you can't always have what you want,

At times even what you need.

'So I stood in solemn silence

Raised my arms in goodbye'

And now I wait.


Time goes on; I hear no word.

Good or bad; could you?

No, it mustn't be!

I know you're out there somewhere!

And I wait.


I hear your heartbeat in the wind.

I see your face there in the sky.

Along the shores of sorrow,

I wait for your return.
