Rain Remembered

[Intro] Rain against the window, a slow, quiet hum Streetlight ghosts in puddles, I’m waiting for none I wear your memory like a coat that won’t shed The night keeps its distance, but I’m heavy with dread [Verse 1] Walked through our old corners, where laughter used to bloom Now the echoes stay, and they linger in the gloom Your perfume in thunder, a whisper on the air I reach for your shadow, find cold air everywhere [Pre-Chorus] If I breathe in, I taste your rain on my lips If I close my eyes, I’m back between your fingertips [Chorus] The rain remembers us, it keeps your name in the fall I’m counting the seconds till you answer the call My heart is a room with a light that won’t stay on I’m drowning in memories, love that’s gone [Verse 2] Sidewalks glisten like secrets I kept to myself I talk to the void, it answers with nothing but help Loneliness lingers in the scent of your rain on the breeze A love letter wet and weighty, crumpled at my knees [Pre-Chorus] If I breathe in, I taste your rain on my lips If I close my eyes, I’m back between your fingertips [Chorus] The rain remembers us, it keeps your name in the fall I’m counting the seconds till you answer the call My heart is a room with a light that won’t stay on I’m drowning in memories, love that’s gone [Bridge] All the cities sleep while the sky runs in tears I’m tracing your handwriting in storms and unreliable cheers If rain is a language, I’m fluent in the ache I speak to the dark, and the dark speaks your name back [Chorus] The rain remembers us, it keeps your name in the fall I’m counting the seconds till you answer the call My heart is a room with a light that won’t stay on I’m drowning in memories, love that’s gone [Outro] When the rain slows, I’ll still hear your voice in the rain’s refrain And I’ll walk this tonight, alone, with your fragrance like a chain
