Waiting For The Rain

[Verse 1]
Empty halls remember laughter
Whispers crawl along the floor
Dust collects where time has ended
Since her footsteps sound no more

[Verse 2]
I move like smoke through these halls
Pictures stare at me, taughting me....  I want to rip them off the walls
I'll light her a candle
But the flame burns weak...
It's the peace in death that I seek.

[Chorus]
I'm waiting for the rain to fall
To drown the silence in these walls
I'm out of my time, out of my mind
Since the day she said goodbye
I'm waiting for the rain… to wash me dry

[Verse 3]
Clock hands turn but mean nothing
The world outside just rolls on by
I whisper her name into darkness
And breathes out one more sigh

[Bridge]
No prayers left for the living
No fears left of the end
I'd trade the stars and every sunrise
Just to be with her again.

[Final Chorus]
I'm waiting for the rain to fall
To drown the silence in these walls
I'm out of my time, left behind
Since the day she closed her eyes
I'm waiting for the rain…
Yeah, waiting for the rain… to say goodbye
