Summer Rain
Echoes of Summer Rain: Love's Evolution and Desperation
Lyrics
Last summer was mad, remember the rain
Last summer was turbulent; recall the rain
I know people complained I had something else in mind
People complained about me, but I had different intentions
Not the sound of rain against my window pane
Not the typical sound of rain on the window, but your persistent presence in my thoughts
All I could hear was you hammering in my head
All I could hear was your influence echoing in my mind
Fall like a wave against a rock
Facing challenges like waves hitting a rock
Leave with a rush or get crushed
Leave abruptly or face being overwhelmed
You never know until after the shock
Uncertainty until the aftermath of a shock reveals the outcome
When you wake up, what's broken what's not
Upon waking, assessing what is broken and what remains intact
One day I don't know how my whole life evolved
Unexpectedly, my life revolved around you
Around You, my Lord, believing was not enough
Belief in you, my Lord, was insufficient for fulfillment
You said I was a hole of desperate need
You characterized me as a void of desperate need
And no love in the world, not even Yours could satisfy me
No love, even Yours, could satisfy my longing
That's when the troubles began, disasters came
Troubles commenced, disasters unfolded
One by one I nearly drowned in that summer rain
Sequentially overwhelmed, nearly drowned in the summer rain
Fall like a wave against a rock
Continuation of the metaphor, facing challenges like waves
Leave with a rush or get crushed
Choice between leaving abruptly or confronting potential devastation
You never know until after the shock
Uncertainty persists until the consequences become clear
When you wake up, what's broken what's not
Reflection upon waking, assessing the damage and preservation
We fall like waves against the rock
Reiteration of facing challenges analogous to waves hitting a rock
Leave with a rush or get crushed
Choice remains between departing suddenly or facing potential ruin
You never know until after the shock
Continued uncertainty until the aftermath of shocks is revealed
When you wake up, what's broken what's not
Upon waking, the ongoing evaluation of what is broken and what persists
When you wake up, what's broken what's not
Repetition emphasizing the ongoing assessment upon waking
