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 --- Acknowledgements: My thanks and appreciation to Heidi for sharing her poetic voice with me in this write. Great working with you Heidi.
