WHEN THE RAIN COMES

WHEN THE RAIN COMES

A county estate, rows of servants await

To carry out every whim

A manicured lawn, a charming salon

I've all that I need but him

As I walk through the halls, an emptiness calls

And somehow I can't explain

And when no ones around, I hunger for sound

And find myself talking to the rain

And when the rain comes, I wake again

From this endless sleep I call my life

And tell myself that nothing's changed

I'm still his friend, if not his wife

And as the wind sighs

I think of eyes and how they don't look in mine

The rain says he's gone still I carry on

Pretending that everything is fine

And when the rain comes I'm not alone

Its echo holds me in the night

And whispers, speaks and how it sings

Granting me a second sight

I see him as he used to be

For the look of love he held for me'

If I turn the back the days could I find him yet

Or was our past just made to forget

And when the rain comes, he here's again

Still he's gone when he is near

At last I learn of his return

But it's lonlier when he's here once again

And I wonder was he ever really here
