Looking at the Rain
Whispers of Love Lost: Eric Clapton's Rainy Reflections
Lyrics
Looking at the rain
Contemplating the rain
Feeling the pain
Experiencing emotional distress
Of love lost running though
Reflecting on the pain of lost love in one's thoughts
My brain
Feeling the emotional impact in the mind
Looking at the wind
Observing the wind's movement
Watching it spin
Watching the world spin despite personal turmoil
The leaves along the street
Noticing leaves carried by the wind
You win
Accepting defeat or acknowledging someone else's victory
Waiting for a line to fall
Anticipating a revelation or explanation
Telling you it's all a big mistake
Realizing a major error or misunderstanding
Looking at a face
Observing a face that seems out of place
So out of place
Noticing an incongruity within a framed image
Inside that picture frame
Referring to a delicate picture frame
Of lace
Observing a wall and contemplating a call
Looking at the wall
Hoping for reassurance
Wishing you'd call
Longing for a call to confirm well-being
And tell me you're okay
Desiring assurance that everything is okay
That's all
Expressing the simplicity of wanting confirmation
Wishing this was all a dream
Yearning for the unreal hope that it's all a dream
I'd find you sleeping when I wake
Fantasizing about finding comfort in a loved one's sleep
Looking at the trees
Observing trees at ease, contrasting personal unrest
So well at ease
Highlighting the peacefulness of nature in contrast to inner turmoil
From sleep that will not come
Expressing difficulty falling asleep
That's me
Identifying with sleeplessness
Looking at the dawn
Observing dawn with the awareness of wrongdoing
Knowing it's wrong
Acknowledging the awareness of a mistake
Still thinking of your love
Continuing to think about a lost love
That's gone
Reflecting on the persistence of thoughts about a departed love
Wishing this was all a dream
Reiterating the desire for it all to be a dream
I'd find you sleeping when I wake
Fantasizing about finding solace in a dream
Looking at the rain
Returning to the contemplation of rain
Feeling the pain
Re-experiencing emotional pain
Of love lost running though
Reiterating the feeling of love lost in thoughts
My brain
Re-feeling the impact in the mind
Looking at the wind
Observing the wind's motion again
Watching it spin
Witnessing the repetitive cycle of life's challenges
The leaves along the street
Noting the leaves on the street, possibly symbolizing victories
You win
Acknowledging another's triumph or success
Waiting for a line to fall
Anticipating a revelation or explanation (repeated)
Telling you it's all a big mistake
Realizing a major error or misunderstanding (repeated)
But the words won't come
Expressing the difficulty in finding the right words
I know I'd feel the same
Acknowledging the persistence of emotional pain
Looking at the rain
Returning to the contemplation of rain (repeated)
