the silver looks paler tonight
under a moon that no longer speaks to me
the past a leaden weight
as long as I hold to it
and hopes the rain will come
to wash it all away
you can feel the problem
addicted to change
when there is nothing left to become
you will grow old
and hopes the rain will come
to wash it all away
there is something strong in her tears
something that pierces the heart
sad, but not negative
knowing, but not afraid
and hopes the rain will come
and wash with it away
there is a song on the wind
on this night, in the storm
and it calls your ancient name
but you can not touch it yet
and hopes the rain will come
and wash with it away
so for now, I must be content
with this in-between
and temporary wonder
for the mystery of it all
calling the rain to come
to wash with it away
