Remember The Rain

Angel that you are

You still remember summer walks

And quiet talks we had before our clouds were broken

In the heaven of your mind

Your hopeful heart has put behind

All the ugly jealous times our hearts were aching

Now that your pain has been mended

You're only seeing one side

Behind the bright easy laughter

Rivers of tears have been cried

So remember the rain

When you think of the sunshine

You've got to try and see

That's it's gone for you and me

And there is no way to bring it back again

In a sad unstable way I love you more than I can say

But it's locked in yesterday and must remain there

The gentle prisoner in the stall

Sometimes forgets the very walls

That gave her shelter in the fall have also chained her

Drink from the spring of tomorrow

Yesterday's well has gone dry

All the good times are behind us

Whenever you ask yourself why

Just remember the rain when you think of the sunshine

On the ocean of a smile we floated easy for awhile

But now we're drifted to the shore where beauty dies

It isn't easy to explain

I never dreamed you felt the same

And even though you're not to blame we can't continue

Don't let yourself pretend that we've got something to defend

You've got to try to face the end with all that's in you

I can't deny that I love you

But my soul can no longer be bound

Fly on the wings of your freedom

But whenever you look to the ground

Just remember the rain when you think of the sunshine

Try to understand that it's fallen from our hands

And just be thankful that your soul is still your own
