Like the Rain

I feel it all coming on like the rain I wake to a world swathed in gray My skies dripping with a scarlet hue Still pushing my weary soul through the day Falling slowly in front of eyes that know me A warm breath that turns the skies to blue An embrace that holds the demons at bay Becuase they are all scared of you You tell me "Baby close your eyes.." You whisper well wishings and promises to ease I fall asleep enveloped in the familiar comfort Drifitng into memories and dreams that please Waking to a world swathed in gray My dark clouds weren't hanging overhead And the gray is lighter then before And I don't want to leave this bed For I woke to your face, calm like the sea before a storm I trace the lines that only appear when you smile I let a kiss escape me to dance upon your lips And I lay awake next to you, you sleeping all the while Because it's hard to say goodbye without a hello And I know these legs will have me walk out your door Its hard to hope for what you don't know I'm treading water I've never tread before And my mind will always wonder What the next days temperment will be A storm or ire or utopian resonance I fall asleep just to wake and see
