Lyrics
In the wettest of days
Amid the blur of city lights
(Walked) in the local cafe
Dried the days tears from my shoulder
Alone in a corner
Reading yesterday’s paper
Cold coffee in your hands
Waiting too long for your lover
If there’s anything I could say
To help you not feel afraid
How good solitude can feel
It’s the only thing that’s real.
Days like this
I live for the rain
Friends and lovers far from my embrace.
Your pride wears thin
As you begin to see the mess you’re in
“How many times,” you ask,
“Can this happen? Why so fast?”
Seeing you there I felt a little sad.
I approach the counter
You look up as I order
Ask the waitress for soya
For my favorite cuppa chai latte
Slipping my jacket off
I sit beside the window
Watching you as I watch the rain outside
Watching you try to hide
If there’s anything I could say
To help you not feel afraid
How good solitude can feel
It’s the only thing that’s real.
Days like this
I live for the rain
Friends and lovers far from my embrace.
