MUSIC FOR SALE

I remember the rain, that cold November night
And the small Italian café bathed in candlelight
We played pretend like it was just another day
As we wondered was it worth the price we had to pay
I remember the rain, and the quiet of the car
Holding hands, crying, hearts stretched too far
The man who always spoke with ease
Now laying in silence upon my knees,

You whispered you'd be back in a year
Love, I knew you'd be much longer
I kissed your trembling hands through tears
As the angry winds grew stronger
I remember the rain
Pounding hard against the windowpane
As reflections everywhere of you
Pierced my spirit through
And I remember the rain
I remember the rain
I remember the rain

Sad eyes met mine, then your warm lips
Pressed gently on my fingertips
Hands that had caressed you a thousand nights
Clung to you as crimson leaves took flight
Tears rolled down your perfect face
The kind that time could never chase
The world grew still, love slipped away
Beneath the falling rain

You whispered you'd be back in a year
Love, I knew you'd be much longer
I kissed your trembling hands through tears
As the angry winds grew stronger
I remember the rain
Pounding hard against the windowpane
As reflections everywhere of you
Pierced my spirit through
And I remember the rain
I remember the rain
I remember the rain
