Even when this rain comes down

by Ria   May 14, 2005


Fearful and so close to dread
Time had come and sail he set
Eyes open wide, fantasy’s blue
And a smile in summer’s bloom

You took his hand and came aboard
And as the sun’s light bathed the shore
You waved your past farewell
And then you promised, you would fight your hell

But even when the rain came down
And bathed the sea
I saw no changes in your eyes
Unmoved, undreamed

Where are you heading daughter of the west?
Can you still see a destination?
Just blame the wind
If on the rocks you find your dreaming seed’s foundation

Lie on the deck
and feel the water drops
Promise with fire in your eyes
that you’ll hold at any cost
Cause there’s a mystery
in ocean rain my Lady
And never give up on me
if you are feeling empty

Enchanting is the calling of the rain
And charming is the cloud-chase in the sky
But never try to leave another day
If nothing in your life can keep you high

Cause there’s a mystery in ocean’s waves my Lady
Hear how they sing in harmony,
They, are never feeling empty

What are you chasing?
I saw no wizards in your heart
And in the starlight you will find no dreamer gazing
Where are you heading when it’s dark?
I saw some dragons in your heart
Indeed, it’s cold when raining…

But even when this rain comes down
And bathes your skin
You stay there still,
Unmoved, undreamed

It was the siren’s fault
that brought you on this journey
your battle has been lost
you admitted as you turned your face
“My Lord, it’s cold when raining”

    It could have used just a little bit more flow, but I liked the ending, even though I found it a little bit difficult to understand the whole picture...but as I have said before, thats just style.

    Good Writing!
