lyrics

3. HOW MANY RAINS

She walked among the markers, the wind blew in her face
Her hair a long and tangled mess, 
long gone her youthful grace
As she read the names and dates there, a question came to mind
One it seemed more than unlikely, the answer she would find
How many rains x2
In days that never end
She rocked the baby gently, held close her dearest boy
And she thought of how his life would be, 
she prayed he’d find much joy
Then she made a wish upon a star, she hoped would seal the deal
Even though she knew she couldn’t stop,
the pain he’d surely feel.
How many rains x2
In days that never end
She rocks with empty arms now, cries tears that never end
She can almost catch the smell of him, the feel of his soft skin
As she gazes into nowhere, she thinks what might have been
She returns half mad to walk all night, in rain that never ends.
(c) 2013 Jemi Blue/Sam RB
