The Sound of Rain

The stars are crying silver tears The clouds are bleeding melancholy hues Birds are dancing in their songs And flying high they paint the midnight blue And rain falls down so softly Looking for an answer in the grass Falling from the heavens Who knew that you could fall from grace so fast The ripples in my mirror Fade when you're around Underneath the ocean's skin You can't hear the sound Of the rain In the horizon there's a lonely silhouette of a little boat Hopes and dreams they ebb the tide Maybe one day we'll all learn to float And tears fall down so softly Looking for the answers to the past Falling oh so slowly Who were we to know it wouldn't last Cause the ripples in my mirror They fade when you're around Underneath the ocean's skin You can't hear the sound Of her name
