Lyrics

Flowers And the Rain

Lonely nights without no sleep
The streets have been forsaken
The ashen skies without a light
A song is in the making
But I can't find the words that I need to explain
It's something to expect
The tears and the pain
But they tell me to accept it
It'll never be the same
Like the flowers and the rain.

My thoughts they wander restlessly
It's hard to catch in rhyme
How I felt the day you left
It's only a matter of time
To settle it in myself
Trying not to go insane
Something good will happen
Like wealth or fame.
But they tell me to accept it
It'll never be the same
Like the flowers and the rain.


Many times I'm wondering about
Where you are when I'm alone
Remembering our laughs and tears
We counted them as one
And it's hard to believe you were leading me on
And it's hard to think it true
Your love for me is gone.
But they tell me to accept it
It'll never be the same
Like the flowers and the rain.

To see you only once again
That's all I desire now
Was there something you didn't like in my way
I'll make it up somehow
Even though you stole my moments
And you robbed me of my time
To see you with another
Is grieving to my mind
But they tell me to accept it
It'll never be the same
Like the flowers and the rain.
