MY RUNAWAY RAIN

 

It's raining here, empty streets

Drenched lonesome cobblestone

Distant neon lights

Your laughter in this  secret dusk

Was yesterday's dream

In dreams, you whispered so often

Runaway from home

Yesterday will be today

Reminds me how distant we are

I surrender in this rainy  dusk

A storm swirling in me

Summer's gone

The rebel wind chocked my voice

My runaway rain

Asked freedom from love

Fugitive rain you came upon me

My runaway rain

Are you  a stranger or a friend

Rain kissed the flower blooming in fragrance

Chasing a song whispered as a stranger

Today  will be tomorrow

Come back, my runaway rain

My yesterday's dream...
