Rain Upon My Love


there were some days, rain has fallen upon my love
like fallen tears hiding your withered smiles
like the sun in its loneliness
our love fading with months and years
you're sombre and i'm far away
sad rain comes chilling my lonely heart
sad rain comes like our promises in the days of passion-calls

there were some autumns passing upon my life
have you still recalled your memory ?
have your eyes still remained with loneliness ?
or are you alone to hear life flowing ?
sadness falls with the sound of my heartbeats
rivers parting our life spaciously
bring us back to a distant place
bring us back with heavy rain falling on our long days

your lips as sweet as a rose
your arms now afar
as ferment of wine leading my remembrance melancholically
you're a flower
you're a thousand waves
that wipe out the footprints of coming rain
you've already forgotten our promises

rain still falls upon my love
already ruined our past time
i still sit in silence looking at the floating clouds
rain falls like fallen dust
joyful days only a short while
by the side of my piano, i can hear my soul falling
just for once, still calling your name
apart from you, i'm in pain
sad love myself at one time in life
