estledaire - A Rainy Day Lyrics

I won't look at the photos
Won't think of what happened to you
When my heart is still bleeding

Like the rain bleeding in through the windscreen
Where you bled too
And the wipers still beating

In time with your heart and then not
As your life ebbed away
Red lights flickered and faded

I still talk to you though I am not sure
You hear what I say
Oh please do not leave me

Did you hear the sound of the sirens that sped
You to the place where I wait by your bed
Praying our last words are not the last said?

I fall asleep with my head on your chest
I dream about the day we first met
And all of our memories, time after time
My life's yours
Your death's mine

Now I walk on a path
Through the forest where your car lost its way - oh
Moisture dripping from leaves

I come every year
Rain or cheer
But it's raining today
Softly falling like tears

It's a place where life ended
But I don't come here to grieve - no
Though I can hardly breathe
I put flowers on the ground
When I turn around
You are reaching for me
Here was also life's reprieve

I woke to the sound of a flat-line ringen
Warnings, hands pushing me, people runnen
You'd become abstract, lifeless body wracked
As they, tried to bring you back

Unreal, that's not you
Nothing like I knew!
Nothing I can do
I cannot go with you!

But unseen you struggled as all my hopes died
Fought somehow, to open your eyes

You wanted more
Than the life you knew before
So after you fought for life
You were somehow most alive

And in spite of fear
Yes in spite of pain
Near-loss taught us both
The lessons of rain

For a life led more fully
We give thanks as we quietly pray
Coz we're so grateful for that rainy day
