From the recording Domestic Violins (Mixes)
Lyrics
FEELS LIKE RAIN
Sunrise and day has broken into peace as, again, I awaken to find
Those words I left unspoken written over and over on the blank slate of my mind
Each day I try to find shelter from the heartache that threatens to drown me again
Just when I think I’m alright, I see your face in another’s and the roof starts caving in
Feels like the rain is coming through
This time the rain is coming through
I drown in memories of you
And now the rain is coming through
And there is nothing I can do
To stop the rain from coming
To stop the rain from coming through
Tense with anticipation of the blow from a cruel and invisible foe
Tears wash the soul with fire, burning deep, with an agony the body cannot know
Feels like the rain is coming through
This time the rain is coming through
I drown in memories of you
And now the rain is coming through
And there is nothing I can do
To stop the rain from coming
To stop the rain from coming through
Time passes, anguish fades into an empty acceptance of loss as I hide
And mark the time until the hands of torment reach out again to drag me down inside
Feels like the rain is coming through
This time the rain is coming through
I drown in memories of you
And now the rain is coming through
And there is nothing I can do
To stop the rain from coming
To stop the rain from coming through
