Rain

So much rain has fallen
my mind has gone numb
cold as the ice in my heart

The dark clouds have gathered
washing away the tears
as they flow from my eyes

You've left me in the rain
my heart can't see in the darkness
but it can hear the thunder
which reminds me of your name

The howling wind, the lingering shadows
telling me that life goes on
but i lost my life when i lost you
and the rain washed it all away

(chorus)
Now that you've left me and gone
my world has been taken over by the rain
Now that you've left me and gooone away
there's nothing in this world for me but pain...

How the rain has poured
though I've tried to sleep through the storm
the chill seeps into me
as I stand here looking at your grave

I remember the weather that day
the fateful day when i lost you
the black clouds had gathered then
just as they have gathered now

There was you, pills, and vodka
and then nothing but empty bottles
i remember that, as you slept,
you whispered you loved me

I remember only one of us waking up
damn, that one was me
i remember seeing your face
thinking you were fast asleep

Now that you've left me and gone
my world has been taken over by the rain
now that you've left me and gooone away
there's nothing for me in this world but pain...

Too much rain has fallen
I'm standing here drenched and cold
a chill runs down my spine
as the wind whispers your name

Your name is etched in stone
and i wish--how i wish--
there was another stone
with my name on it

The fire within me
was lost in the darkness
and died in the rain.
i need your sun
to light it again

Now that you've left me and gone
my world has been taken over by the rain

Now that you've left me and gone
my world has been taken over by the rain
Now that you've left me and gone
my world has been taken over by the rain
Now that you've left me and gooone away
there's nothing for me in this world but pain...

Critique:I would love to hear your write set to music. There is an ugency to your lyrics saying I need saved from my remorse now that you are gone. The good thing about life is we get over it and move on, no choice. Just wondering if you are in a band and derive your writing inspiration from such. Enjoyed it.
