Rain

there’s a shallow
river running
down the hill
moving softly
through the valley
where I live
when it rains
when it rains
when it rains
the river runs so deep
when the water
is clear and still
like a mirror
I can see you
on the surface
of the river
when it rains
when it rains
when it rains
the river runs so deep
in the rain
in the rain
in the rain I weep
where will I find you
when I need you
my long lost friend?
bring back the mirror
so I can see
your face again
when it rains
when it rains
when it rains
the river runs so deep
in the rain
in the rain
in the rain
I weep
in the rain
in the rain
in the rain
into the river deep
