(Intro Saxophone,Metal Guitar)
Verse 1
Gray-painted heavens with charcoal between
The thunder awakens beyond distant pines
Rain writes its rhythm on cold window screens
While steam from my coffee curls slow through the lines
The clouds rush onward like panicked white sheep
Their shepherd, the wind, drives them over the plains
Across fading hills where the dark valleys sleep
And silence grows heavier under the rain
Pre-Chorus
The whistle through cracks in the old wooden frame
Turns every cold shadow to something serene
Each drop on the rooftop repeats the same hymn
A language too quiet for daylight to speak
Chorus
Rainy days carry the burden away
Cold skies above me yet peace fills my frame
The world may look shattered and worn by the gray
But grace falls softly inside of the rain
Rainy days pull every heartbeat down slow
The firelight dances through amber-lit glow
While rivers of water keep carving below
And every small moment feels sacred to hold
[Saxophone Solo]
Verse 2
The puddles are blooming with widening rings
Like echoes expanding too far to be traced
Loose leaves drift away through the roadside streams
Like boats without maps being carried by fate
The crackle of fire keeps rising throughout
While cold from the storm still awakens within
And somewhere beyond all the noise of the world
The storm builds a shelter invisible and thin
Chorus
Rainy days carry the burden away
Cold skies above me yet peace fills my frame
The world may look shattered and worn by the gray
But grace falls softly inside of the rain
Rainy days pull every heartbeat down slow
The firelight dances through amber-lit glow
While rivers of water keep carving below
And every small moment feels sacred to hold
Guitar Solo
(Slow emotional lead guitar rising together with rolling thunder, bending notes crying through the sound of rain and crackling fire)
Bridge
The house becomes distant from all that exists
No engines, no voices, no hurried parade
Just timber and thunder and flickering bliss
As warmth folds around me in delicate waves
A blanket pulled close while the storm loudly sings
My eyes start collapsing like exhausted kings
Defeated at last by the calm of the room
While fire keeps swaying beneath smoky plumes
Final Chorus
Rainy days whisper the world into sleep
The storm at the windows turns distant and mild
The flames in the fireplace flicker and breathe
Like ghosts telling stories to comfort a child
Rainy days soften the edges of thought
The thunder now fades like a faraway train
My eyelids grow heavy, resistance is lost
The final stage of comfort has finally been gained
Outro
Wrapped under blankets I drift into sleep
The wind hums its hymn through the old wooden halls
The rain keeps on falling in soft endless streams
That is why I treasure these rain-covered walls
