Rain
fallin down
On my head
on the ground
Rain
all around
Making sound
So profound
The snow of age has touched my hair
I can see hard times ahead
Old age ain`t to far away
Life is fading day by day
My troubles they weigh down on me
Ain`t no way out that I can see
I run away inside my head
I wish sometimes that I were dead
Dark
rolling in
Shows the lines, on my skin
Night
follows day
Time
slips away
.................Guitar Interlude.................
Scars....on my Soul
Drag me down
Make me old
Pain.....in my heart
All my dreams torn apart
My heartbeats fading every day
Death is but a breath away
I take myself and run away
Looking for a brighter day
The rain is coming down on me
I close my eyes so I can see
Stumbling on with no direction
Memories and recollections
Rain
falling down
On my head
On the Ground
Rain
all around
Making sound
so profound
I said rain
falling down
On my head
all around
Rain
so profound
Making sound
on the Ground
.................Guitar Interlude................
Yeah yeah Rain
Rain rain rain
I said rain
Rain
Rain
Rain
Rainsong
Rain is often a Synonym for Depression. This is a song about growing old...about the realization that you have less time to go that you have already had. Questions.... how many years have I left..and how many of those will be good years, unmarred by Illness, pain and other concerns.
Having said this, every coin has two sides. When we are young and invincible, time is like water, we can swim in it and can waste it without a care because we have so much of it. When we become older it takes on a different quality...it becomes more like honey....trickling thick and golden into the sands of eternity...to be savoured and treasured...time is precious..waste it wisely. Bob Dylan once said:
"Some People feel the Rain - others just get wet"
