Cold Rain

She's walking down the empty street,
Her heels are clicking to the beat.
And in her eyes I see the desperation she so cleverly conceals.

He's riding subway downtown,
His life is going round and round.
And in his eyes I see the emptiness of faking endless pointless smiles.

Cold cold rain,
It washes tears away.
It puts the veil of mercy on your face.
It grants forgiveness for your sins.
The gracious rain.

They wear expensive rings, they're married,
Done proper rituals in bed.
But in their eyes I see the misery they never shared with anyone.

I feel alone in human crowds,
I scream when nobody's around.
And in my eyes you'll see yourself but never say a word and just keep walking in the rain.

Cold cold rain,
It washes tears away.
It puts the veil of mercy on your face.
It grants forgiveness for your sins.
The gracious rain.
