Rainy Reflections: Unveiling the Heart's Journey in Jonathan Estabrooks' Kathy's Song
Lyrics
I hear the drizzle of the rain
I perceive the sound of rain falling.
Like a memory it falls
The rain evokes memories as it descends.
Soft and warm continuing
The rain is gentle and consistently warm.
Tapping on my roof and walls
Raindrops tap on my roof and walls.
cnd from the shelter of my mind
From the safety of my thoughts,
Through the window of my eyes
Through my eyes, I observe.
I gaze beyond the rain-drenched streets
I look past the rain-soaked streets.
To England where my heart lies
My heart is in England.
My mind's distracted and diffused
My mind is scattered and unfocused.
My thoughts are many miles away
My thoughts are far away.
They lie with you when you're asleep
When you are asleep, my thoughts are with you.
cnd kiss you when you start your day
I mentally kiss you at the start of your day.
cnd a song I was writing is left undone
A song I was composing remains unfinished.
I don't know why I spend my time
I'm uncertain why I invest time in writing songs.
Writing songs I can't believe
I write songs that I find hard to believe in.
With words that tear and strain to rhyme
The lyrics strain to rhyme and convey emotions.
cnd so you see I have come to doubt
Consequently, I begin to question everything.
cll that I once held as true
All that I once held as true is now in doubt.
I stand alone without beliefs
I stand alone, devoid of beliefs.
The only truth I know is you
The only truth I acknowledge is you.
cnd as I watch the drops of rain
Observing raindrops, I contemplate.
Weave their weary paths and die
The raindrops follow wearisome paths and cease to exist.
I know that I am like the rain
I recognize my similarity to the rain.
There but for the grace of you go I
If not for your grace, I could be like the rain.
