Verse 1 – Male, low and heavy]
I hear your laughter carried in the breeze,
The night air touches you while I fall to my knees.
The rain runs down your skin, every drop knows your name,
I’m standing in the shadows, burning in my shame.
[Verse 2 – Female, high and aching]
I feel the storm, it wraps me in its hold,
But it can’t warm me like your arms of gold.
The thunder speaks your name, but it fades too fast,
I’m reaching through the silence, longing for the past.
[Chorus – Together, harmony (male low, female soaring high)]
I’m jealous of the wind (jealous of the wind),
It gets to touch your hair again.
I’m jealous of the rain (jealous of the rain),
It kisses where I can’t remain.
Every drop, every breath,
Reminds me of what I can’t possess…
I’m jealous of the wind and the rain.
[Verse 3 – Male, deep and raw]
The night sky holds you closer than I ever could,
The stars shine for you like I always would.
But I’m left in silence, with nothing but pain,
While the wind whispers softly, calling your name.
[Verse 4 – Female, trembling high notes]
The rain knows the shape of every curve I hide,
It falls where you once laid by my side.
But I’d give every storm, every breath, every tear,
If the sound of your low voice was here.
[Chorus – Together, stronger, layered harmonies]
I’m jealous of the wind (jealous of the wind),
It gets to touch your hair again.
I’m jealous of the rain (jealous of the rain),
It kisses where I can’t remain.
Every drop, every breath,
Reminds me of what I can’t possess…
I’m jealous of the wind and the rain.
[Bridge – Male low / Female high, call & response]
Male: The storm surrounds you, but I’m locked outside…
Female (high, emotional): No thunder can hide how much I’ve cried…
Male: The night belongs to the earth, not me…
Female (soaring): But my heart still screams your melody!
[Final Chorus – Male deep & steady, Female soaring adlibs/riffs over top]
I’m jealous of the wind (jealous of the wind!),
It gets to touch your hair again.
I’m jealous of the rain (jealous of the rain!),
It kisses where I can’t remain.
Every drop, every breath,
Tears me apart with every caress…
I’m jealous of the wind and the rain.
[Outro – Male whispers low / Female belts high above]
