Cold Rain [Acoustic Version]

When cold rain’s falling from the sky Will you stay by my side? An unceasing rain beat on your face And all your tears flowed like a stream From the verse that chills you to the bone Now let your eyes at last depart And into fleeting dreams entrust your heart And I’ll be there by your side The fragments left behind shine in the dark So gather them like pearls We’re here in this corner of the world Can you hear me now? I’m here, alone The more the cold rain pierces through the soul The more’s my only wish, “Be strong and whole!” Hold my hand Life is a fleeting work of art It’s time we choose just where we’ll start Right now… Standing in a flame as old as time The seasons change, the years go by Where once the sun announced the coming spring, Long ago its blooms did fade, Now dewdrops fall through curtains of deep night, All murky and opaque All I see is wrapped in silver mist… And I’ll figure out Why it’s all these things I can’t predict, I can’t control That always scorch me to the soul - it hurts Cold rain Pour down and rinse me clean from hurt that will not fade Sweep unwanted truth away You’re here You’re here Can you hear me now? I’m here alone In far-off thunderbolts that crash Shouting out to you “Be strong and whole!” Cold rain I send to you, to wake a single bloom to life As the spring brings blossoms new Once more Now’s the time to wake your bloom to life…
