How Can I Explain (For Carol Brown)

How can I explain 
these words............... 
Cannot describe the pain 

How can I explain 
these tears, 
like pelting rain 

How can I explain 
This anguish.......... 
This stain 

How can I explain 
These fears, 
in pelting rain 

How can I explain 
These tears, 
washed away............. 
This pain 

How can I explain 
These tears 
Born again 
Soft gentle rain 

How can I explain 
Soft gentle rain 
Washed me away again 
Soft gentle rain 
Washed away this pain
