Rain

And I was so much younger then, there where the young men were

I had it all and more... so much more...

Until the clouds came in

And I watched from a distance how they touched the shore

Of my island, of the laughing sea

I saw them climb my walls and I was frightened

And I gained nothing besides the rain...

Write my name in dust, write my name in heaven

Alas the sun always shines too late

Write my name in dust, write my name in heaven

Alas the sun always shines too late

Where have all the poets gone since the clouds have stayed

I had it all...

Now that the summer's gone

Will they stay with me, will you stay with me

Through times and lives and rain and shine

We'll meet again, like we have met before

Maybe I'm wrong but all seemed better

Yesterday, yesterday, yesterday, jesters day

Echoeing through an empty world

And I gained nothing besides the rain...

Our dreams mean nothing once you're not here

I swear I'll never dream again without you to stop the rain

Like circles in the water I know you'll be a wave once you'll reach the shore

And I promise I will try to catch you there, please stop the rain

If I could give the world, you know I would, just to see you one more time

So many things that are left to say, goddamn the rain...
