SirHamnet - If It Rains

The dark blue color of the rain falling on the passing train
Looking at the world through this window, nothing seems to be the same
Waiting for the morning breeze, dewdrops on the grass and trees
Come alive and dance in the light, scattering colors as they please


Rippling, as I try to peer and see
What’s inside this puddle right here, an umbrella held over me


Rainboots hitting ground, jumping up and down, and then suddenly in my sight
I thought I saw something from way back as I stared into the light


Tulala, the rain falls down, knocking on the door to my heart
And the sky remembers what may now be broken apart
The day I sat along the sidelines of the ticket gate all alone
I found a gift of warmth and love that needed a home


The orange glow of roadside lights dotted ‘long the cloudy sky
Making shadows come and go before we bid them all goodbye
Leaving on the trail we know, footprints in the mud below
But they lose their form and return to the days from long ago


Rippling, as I try to peer and see
What’s inside this puddle right here, an umbrella held over me


What I saw that time was this face of mine that had spoke so honestly
I felt a brush on my knees but it was gone in a beat


Tulala, the rain falls down, knocking on the door to my heart
And the sky remembers what may now be broken apart
The day I hid inside the convenience store ‘til it was late in the day
I guessed I’d buy a juice box and be on my way


Walking down the concrete road I see people coming, going, passing me
Finally, folding my umbrella up, I put it in my bag with all my stuff
Suddenly in the corner of my eye, I see some kids laughing and running by
As for the wish that I had pocketed, how long's it been since I’ve lost track of it?
 
The sun begins to drift behind the clouds and all the light becomes a pale glow
I watch the city as it’s fading out, see off the colors that it used to know
The ripples in the puddles in my view all catch the light and give off golden hues
And as the grey rainy clouds now start to leave, twinkling stars appear, all shining through

And the bright moon sends out a cleansing breeze
Wrapping and wrapping all around me


Swaying branches of the trees along the road
There a single droplet falls


Lit up by the the moon’s shimmering glow, the plaza is shining from wall to wall
And just then, I crouched down to look at the world all around


Past the guardrail’s line, I can see on the other side
Even though today’s such a rainy day
The flowers of the hydrangeas smile at me
As if I were inside of a dream


Tulala, the rain falls down, knocking on the door to my heart
And the sky remembers what may now be broken apart
Today comes to an end as the lights in the city fade out slowly
But I see around tonight’s crescent moon are stars in the night sky shining brightly


I feel a breeze rushing by me, dancing ‘round this place
It sparks something inside of me and leaves without a trace
I can see it pass the buildings but it is late in the day
I guess I’ll drink my juice box and be on my way.
