Healing rain

you were both a stranger
and a friend
I can see that now at
our road's end
I saw you, you saw me
but we saw love differently
and I never was one to pretend

I thought time would change things
and you tried
I know now how much you
had to hide
I used a thousand words
I knew you never heard
what I tried to tell you when I cried

now I'm alone
and only the passing of days
can wash away these tears of pain
and may they flow
til all the hurt slowly fades
til all that remains
in a healing rain

sometimes love is blind to
who we are
sometimes in a dream we
see to far
I set my sights to high
I tried to touch love's sky
and when I fell the ground was hard

I watched you go
and only my heart can explain
these tears of pain, my tears of pain
someday I know
something of love will remain
I just hope and pray
for a healing rain
time will show
that only love can remain
I hope and pray
for a healing rain
I hope and pray
for a healing rain
