Walking In The Rain
The drops come down
upon my face
so that the world can't see
the tears I've shed
for all my woes
the rain's a mask for me
It's cold embrace
holds me close
away from those who see
none come to greet
for they fear the cold
the rain's a space for me
It's chilling cold
it numbs me so
washing away the pain
for but a moment
no sorrow's known
when walking in the rain
upon my face
so that the world can't see
the tears I've shed
for all my woes
the rain's a mask for me
It's cold embrace
holds me close
away from those who see
none come to greet
for they fear the cold
the rain's a space for me
It's chilling cold
it numbs me so
washing away the pain
for but a moment
no sorrow's known
when walking in the rain
