Elderly woman walking alone
Hiding her beauty so no one will know
Cold from the rain with no place left to go
Humbled from the begging life
Her last few years were filled with strife
Theres no one left who cares
Its been so long
Since she could smile
Wondering where she went wrong
This roads gone on for way to long
She stops and listens
Looking up to the dark sky
She suddenly remembered why
Times been frozen
Her heart explodes deep inside
Been waiting for this chance to die
For so long
She smiled as the rain came down
As the rain came down she smiled
She spun in circles as the rain came down
As the rain came down she smiled
For the first time in so long (the rain came down)
Nothing else could go wrong
Memories reveal a happy past
Two children who grew up to fast
Taken from her
He could not stand the pain inside
Left an note and committed suicide
The rest is a blur
Waiting for her time to expire
Visions of heaven do inspire
Rain drops take her
She smiled as the rain came down
As the rain came down she smiled
She spun in circles as the rain came down
As the rain came down she smiled
She smiled as the rain came down
As the rain came down
And hit the ground
She spun in cirlcles
Yeah she pins around
And she spun around till she
Hit the ground
Beautiful woman
Laying in the road
Taken by the rain
Its been so long
Since she could smile
