Crying In The Rain

Raindrops tap on my window pane
Like your fingers tracing my skin again
The jazz chords hover in the heavy air
But you're not there... you're not there
The nylon strings weep a gentle tune
Underneath this melancholy moon
I close my eyes and I swear I feel
Your warmth is real... so real

And the hang drum rings like a silver tear
Floating down through the atmosphere
Every note is a kiss I never gave
Every pause is a heart I couldn't save

Let me love you in this pouring rain
Where the saxophone cries out your name
Every drop is a promise I still keep
While the world is fast asleep
Let me hold you in this endless night
Where the bass walks slow and the ride cymbal's light
I'm not asking for you to come back home
I just don't want to love alone

The city lights blur like watercolors
I trace your shadow on the wet street corners
The guqin harmonics cut through the gloom
Like flowers blooming in my tomb of love
The piano whispers a jazzy blue
Every chord reminds me of you
I'd trade the sun for one more rainy day
If I could hear you say... my name

Yeah... I thought we were unbreakable
But love turned into a fable
Now I'm standing on this wet concrete
Drowning in the silence of the empty street
You said forever, but forever had a date
Now I'm counting raindrops, they feel like fate
Every drop is a second I can't get back
Every splash is a flashback – black and white, no track
I try to sing my sorrow, but the tune is off-key
Raindrops on my eyelashes, they look like jewellery
But they're just salt and water, a cheap disguise
While my heart is screaming out your name – but am I wise?
No, I'm not wise, I'm just wet and cold
This story's been told, but I'm too young to be old
So I'll rap to the clouds, let them hear my plea
And maybe the thunder will answer for me

Raindrops fall, but they don't know
Why I'm standing here alone
I gave my all, you gave goodbye
Now the only sound is my own cry
...and the rain...

LET ME LOVE YOU IN THIS POURING RAIN!
WHERE THE SAXOPHONE CRIES YOUR NAME!
Every drop is a promise I still keep – oh-oh-oh
While the world is fast asleep
LET ME HOLD YOU IN THIS ENDLESS NIGHT!
WHERE THE BASS WALKS SLOW AND THE RIDE CYMBAL'S LIGHT!
I'm not asking for you to come back home – come back home
I JUST DON'T WANT TO LOVE... ALONE!
Love me... rain... take me higher...
Yeah-eah-eah...
