Heavens Tears

Days sliding by in loneliness
Nights never ending emptiness
Carrying on with tenderness
Refusing to submit to bitterness

So I go walking in the rain
Among the faceless hiding shame
Hoping this false smile hides the pain
From heavens tears falling in silent strain

I wish he could feel through the cloud my hearts fears
I wish he could see through the rain my heavens tears
No I didn’t want to fall in love, no I didn’t want to fall in love with you

Hoping for the telephones ring
Waiting for the song your voice sings
Needing the warm feeling you bring
Dying a little death when the silence stings

My steps falter, will’s resolve not so bold
Each day I feel more like my souls been sold
Each day a little more loneliness turns me cold
Left alone dark thoughts causing hope to fold

I wish he could feel through the cloud my hearts fears
I wish he could see through the rain my heavens tears
No I didn’t want to fall in love, no I didn’t want to fall in love with you

A knock comes and I reach for my gown
Go from bed to door carrying a lonely frown
Pull the handle only to meet an empty hall of brown
My eyes start searching slowly up and down

Suddenly I feel him standing there
Look up to see his look of love and care
Turn and run to feel his fingers in my hair
His kisses pour down lifting this despair

I knew he could feel through the cloud my hearts fears
I knew he could see through the rain my heavens tears
No I didn’t want to fall in love, all I know is I did fall in love with you
