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
