Rain in the City - Andrew Fort
- Verse 1
So many hearts; so many tears
So many spirits; so many fears
And the rain in the city
Brings about what was already there.
Because the people are falling apart;
Inside their hearts, the darkness has lain from the start.
- Chorus
But the sky above the clouds is clear
From cumulonimbus to ionosphere.
The aircraft above can see the moon.
Its craters leak tears for the city so near.
And the raindrops below are made of this;
The raindrops below are made of this;
The raindrops below are made of moon-tears.
- Verse 2
All of nature screams to us
How wrong we've been;
How so very wrong we've been
And the rain in the city
Stills the hearts of all those who feel it,
And their hearts
Grew so cold; so bitterly cold
- Chorus 2
The sky above the clouds is clear
From cumulonimbus to ionosphere.
The people above can see the moon;
No one knew destruction could come so soon,
And the raindrops below were omens of;
The raindrops below were omens of;
The raindrops below were omens of their future tears.
- Bridge
And the dark
Circles under their eyes
Only revealed their true natures;
Their true natures shone through
And the windows
Of their eyes
Showed everything to me
The rain made them scream
And the purple
Blossoms on the branches
Fell to the ground;
Even trees weep.
- Chorus 3
The sky above the clouds is dark;
No one could see the water's mark.
The only point of light up there
A small beacon in a world of dark
And the raindrops below were reminders of;
The raindrops below were reminders of;
The raindrops below were reminders of
Their dead patriarch.

Verbosity
ŞiirI think too much. Maybe that's what leads me to write so much and with such a diction. Maybe that's a good thing. Maybe it's a bad thing. Maybe we will never know if it's even of any consequence. Oh, well. I suppose I'll see you inside.
