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.
