Haunting Melody - a Collaboration With Heidi Sands
I watch the clouds turn to gray
And I listen for the rain
Then I hear the haunting melody you play
As it echoes with sad refrains
I often wonder why, you only play
that haunting melody on rainy days
What sad memory do you recall
When those raindrops fall
I wonder what you may have lost
that left behind a cold winter frost
As lightening bolts strike the mountains
The thunder and music seem to blend
I feel deep heartache as I listen, I grieve
Silently hoping you will find reprieve
From what has captured you within
For rain to wash away the haunting sin
But the storm brings no reprieve
And I hold on to the pain
The heartache does not leave
But comes down with the rain
As I know I will always hear
This haunting melody to my ears
That shakes my soul to the core
Standing all alone at your door
So I will join in, with you violin
For I know I'll always hear
The sad sounds of your strings
And on the piano I'll share
The sorrow the rain brings
Drenching my heart, because I care
