The City of Me ---Trilogy - part two

through the valleys
and the annuls
through the crevices
of my heart,
the rain
has poured
on
down

through the alleys
and the ghettos
that have set us
apart,
the rain
has poured
on
down

memories
canter
and gallop
around this one-horse town
as the rain
just pours
on
down

buildings
afire
burning desire
i'm burning with faith and
i'm
burning with doubt

the water has poured
straight from the sky
I was burning within, now
i'm
burning without
as the rain's
just poured
on
down

you've given me storms,
given me rainbows,
you've given me winds…
and given me droughts

you've given me hail
You've given me hell
it's like you've given me heaven, but
kept me out
'cause the rain's
just poured
on
down.

while the city of me
is battered and weary,
i'm shattered and teary
from all of your storms

the city of me
is tattered and dreary,
needing you near me to
keep me warm

but for now
the rain…
just pours
on
down.
