Here comes the rain

On fenced courtyards

Here comes the shade

On dead-end ways

Here comes the grey

To dim the colors

Here comes the cold

To wake the pain



It's hard to live in silent corners

Weary leaves

And crooked stalks

Flowers bow

Towards the light

So I do

Out of shape, out of sight



Calm! It's alright they say

Calm! you're straight on your way out

Calm's the last things I fel

'cause what is too calm seems to be unreal



Yet down inside

Seas are raging

One tear and hell shall burst

Cold tearing and grey as lead

I push it back as I bend my head

And keep on standing

If I'm here tomorrow, God, don't let it be raining



An abandoned bone

Lone, dead, shabby

One doomed man

Who can't give up

One croked flower

That still wants to live

I clutch at my last hour

At the restless sea



Calm! It's alright they say

Calm! you're straight on your way out

Calm's the last things I feel

'cause what is too calm seems to be unreal



Yet down inside

Seas are raging

One tear and hell shall burst



Cold tearing and grey as lead

I push it back as I bend my head

And keep on standing

If I'm here tomorrow, God, don't let it be raining



Calm! It's alright they say

Calm! you're straight on your way out

Calm's the last things I feel

'cause what is too calm seems to be unreal



Yet down inside

Seas are raging

One tear and hell shall burst

Cold tearing and grey as lead

I push it back as I bend my head

And keep on standing

Though I know well there's no way back in

And the world out here keeps on turning-aca
