Song of Rain

we grew up in a desert town trouble, scrub, and dust were all that we found tumbleweed hearts, roll across the plain we never even knew the other shared the same pain she had hers', and i had mine we knew about 'em all, every single fall...god we were blind we took our hands, and gave our hearts we never could've seen what the future was to bring, broken shards when is it gonna rain and take the blue from my sky lovin' you's been joy and pain, glad to be here for the ride oh tonight, we're keepin' 'er east til the break of dawn oh tonight, taste you in the air, wish it'd go on and on everything's fine, a bit too still calm before the storm, in silence you were warned, now take your pill it fills your ears, and blinds your eyes there's not a lot to say, ain't changin' yesterday, ain't changin' sides then the surge, it rushes in carving out a hole, takin' a toll, taken again it left you blind, to stagger alone left you in the deep, a rescue out of reach, on a sky of roan all this sun makes me afraid, there's got to be storms sometimes where there's light, there'll be shade, you know there's nowhere to hide oh tonight, speedin' along, singin' our song, well upon our way oh tonight, we need to be strong, rightin' the wrong, in all we do and say oh tonight, we'll see it through, a morning of blue, to another day

Wow, this was a Journey! Song of Rain is now one of my favorite pieces. I am slightly jealous of your skill level. I must say that you could seriously get paid if you sold this to an artist.. the lyrics and story are amazing... Excellent. I will be sure to come back for more writing like this...New fan here! Great Job!
