Rainy Day Window

Up there she sits and stares again

Not wishing for this rain to end

Where once she walked between the drops

She prays they’ll wash away the thoughts

Of following them home

 

(chorus)

Rainy day window clears the vision

Rainy day window cleans the pain

Though it looks a little different from the inside

Let it rain; let it rain; let it rain

 

For years she held away the dreams

Naming them her pointless schemes

Now hear her cursing stars and moon

Rocking lonely in her room

Instead of what was planned

 

At times she taps upon the glass

The raindrop rhymes as rivulets pass

Then she calls out softly to the cats

Imploring them to come on back

And share the mystery
