Rain

I feel the raindrops on my face I enjoy the wind`s embrace I see the shadow of a tree Dancing on the wall I waited so long for this moment... I waited for the fall I hear the sound of water running in the drain I can almost feel it wash away my pain When the raindrops hit me As they fall down from a tree I feel a little more alive I feel as if I`m free I listen to my footsteps Echo in the streets In this rainy night when everyone`s asleep The streets are empty, I am all alone Slowly strolling through the rain... I`m not going home Memories haunt me from the summer that has passed I fear the things I loved to do Could have been my very last I see it clearly now, my world is in decay That it would last just one more year Is the only thing I pray Every single year is worse than the one before There`s always less of what I love And more of what I abhore We slowly drift apart We turn inside as we grow old We do not notice, do not care And we close another door My eyes look up to the skies above I see nothing but the clouds No stars, no moon. Heaven is closed tonight And the rain is pouring down I see a figure on the other side One hand in his pocket, hurries to get home And his umbrella is open wide And I know, though I can`t see his face He is me...some years from now...
