Rainstorm

Anneli Drecker

Have I not been fooled again?

I know I must have

I thought such joy could never end

I thought I would

Keep you with me

Eternally

Now, I turn a painful red

When people pass me

Avert my eyes and drop my head

Afraid they might

See what I see

My destiny

I just want the rain to come

To console me, to pour over me

There's nothing like a rainstorm

To wash away the rain

My crying in vain

Autumn leaves and butterflies

When winter's due

They all turn weak, they all just die

In multitudes

Invisible

Nothing at all

My, oh, my the wind did turn

I lie awake in bed

I sweat, I toss, I burn

With agony

This emptiness

It's so meaningless

I just want the rain to come

To console me, to pour over me

They say there's nothing like a rainstorm

To wash away the rain

I just want the rain to come

To dissolve me, to pour over me

You know they say there's nothing like a rainstorm

To wash away the rain

My crying in vain

My crying in vain..

Have I not been fooled again?
