Rain trickles down the window
Outside the glass down it pours
Drawing me, pulling me, into gloom
For my soul it sets it's lures
The damp chill settles in me
The chill of evil, of the grave
I cannot resist the temptation
My soul I just cannot save
Darkness settles on my heart
To match the gray outside
It has me in it's clutches
I cannot run, I cannot hide
Despair taking root in my mind
Always loathesome, hateful, despite
My mind's a trap I can't escape
My thoughts have all taken flight
Nay, this is not who I am
It's not the me I thought I knew
But with the coming of despair
somehow I've managed to lose me too
You'd think the rain washing down
Would wash away all of this pain
But as I look out the window
It's not a miracle, it's just rain
Down it falls from gray clouds
That weigh heavy on my soul
It's so dreary to behold
The sky's one vast gray filled bowl
But tomorrow is another day
It's only one single day away
And I can't wait because as ever
Tomorrow eventually becomes today
Better it will be on the morrow
There'll be blue sky and the sun
And when it comes to pass I will say
Over despair and darkness I have won
I have beaten the rain before
And one more time I will do so
Be patient I must sit and wait
For the rain to dry up and go
