An Hour of Rain

The gray skies are full of sorrow
Mother Nature is crying with remorse
I don't see a streak of light anywhere
And if you ever find me, I'll be standing next to a window in depression
I have a broken heart
I'd rather be stabbed with a dart
And every time I try to get rid of the pain
There is always an hour of rain
An hour of rain
I wanted to go out and walk but I had to run away
The sun is hiding from the gloominess of the day
I haven't gone colorblind but I can only see gray
And if you ever find me, I'll be standing next to a window in depression
When I have lots of pain, there is an hour of rain
I need to get rid of the pain, but there's an hour of rain

Purple

We are now disconnected and every muscle of our body is weak
But every time you cry, when I come, I just hear you speak
You have met someone recently when I was gone
But I'm so curious that I have written this song
Would you be better without me? Would you be better with me?
Struck a chord with you, but now it is unheard, with a disgusted look on your face
"Forgive me, for I have sinned" is what you said the day you left
The humor was wearing off; make it permanent, please
I've been waiting for a girl like you, and you threw it all away
You looked tired, and had a pretty purple dress on the last time I have seen you
You make paper rain, yet you don't have enough money to put food on the table
Drunks are the ones who pay you
Oh, you don't know
Oh, you don't care

Beautiful Skies

I've seen beautiful skies of sorrow the other day below the sunset
We're not talking about lust, we're talking about love, with a red shade in our minds tonight
I've seen a summer moon when you were gone; it was so bright, it could've been a light that traced back to you
Oh, it was a sight
I should've taken a bite of your lips before I was gone
I've seen sorrowful skies of beauty the other day below the sunset
We're not talking about happiness, we're talking about tears, as they fell upon your face
You've seen a foggy night when I was gone; it was so blurry, you couldn't see inches ahead of me
I had ran and ran a good enough distance that I had to get to you
You never let me down and now you have
My heart is broken, the skies are filling with my sorrow
You've seen beautiful skies of sorrow, and maybe you will see my face
You thought it is a disgrace
You look back with no trace, and you let my tears get the best of me

Samantha

Samantha she stands, high in the sky
Where there's no fear, where there's no love
She might stay there - she needs to fly
When there is hope, she's like a dove
The surrealists dance beneath her
The bride gets stripped bare from her bachelors
She has made it to fair ground
Where she can kiss the spirit's heart
My ideas landed in an ocean
I don't think that they'll make it back to shore
And she smiles with her head in the clouds
It might travel to the atmosphere
I need time to recognize
Her face, so beautiful
I need another day to make her
Fall back down to the Great Plains
And there, in the fields
I can see her shining face
And I'll see her beautiful smile
So close, yet so far away

Mourning Love

I can remember your touch like it was yesterday
The warm grasp on the cold side of the pillow
I can remember your kiss on my cheek
It lasts so long, like a winter with snow
But those days are gone, yet it's unusual
How I can feel your presence walking down my old hallway
Did you come back to save me? Did you come back to love me?
I can feel you everywhere; put your arms around me
I can see you before me, I don't think it's a mystery
See you before my eyes; got a way to make you smile
Even though you're just a blur, I don't think that it's a dream
And I still love you so
I'm not mourning love
Do you still remember me, baby?
All those things that we did in the past
Too bad those days are over; it's bringing me down
But I can feel you everywhere; put your arms around me
I was mistaken when I said we'd go our separate ways
I hear your whispers every time I lay my head
The pounding on the stairs behind me
I just wanna feel your lips again

I never wanted to learned how to talk
Said the little kid once he saw
What mankind managed to achieve with words
I knew a man who use to shake his own hands
To tell everybody "Oh, what a man I met tonight,
He was smart and very kind"
It's a shame you have to leave right now
You have a sense of humor, I'm sure you'll be so proud
To hear me talk
About the time we flew twice around the moon.
I used to have an invisible crowd
I was so sad when they walked out
Could you please leave quietly
Cause I start to feel it coming
It's an allergy to myself
That keeps me awake night and day
I can hardly breathe today...
As if it matter really
That I have a strange feeling
