The clouds are crying
Out for you
The rain is falling
Fast and blue
The puddles on the ground
Shimmer in my sight
I dance in the rain
On this dark, cold night
Enjoying the water
As I ignore the pain
Forgetting it all
As I twirl it away
I must be a sight
All covered and wet
But I ignore the stares
Instead, I just forget
Forgetting the broken promises
All the fakes and the lies
The stories of heartbreak
Of love and demise
I need a break
From all this hate
From the world of doom
The cloak of gloom
That we weave around ourselves so tight
It clings to us
All day and night
My hair is soaked
My eyes are red
I might be crying
So sick from dread
Lightning flashes
Thunder booms
The world's aglow
As more storms bloom
Sometimes rain is all I need
Heavy falling water
With a light breeze
To blow away my troubles
For a minute, or a year
And instead i can imagine
The good things that are true
And as I'm dancing there alone
I dream that I'm with you
