Quiet Like the Rain
Silent Echoes of Love and Empires
Lyrics
Then I go quiet like the rain
Feeling silent and withdrawn, akin to the calmness of rain.
It's never the right time when you go
Timing is never ideal when you depart or leave.
Of all of the love I gave
Reflecting on the love given in the past.
I wanted it back from you the most
Desiring reciprocation of love, especially from you.
All the papers say I'm following a distant sail
Media suggests I'm pursuing an elusive goal.
Like you lady I'm just picking up a paper trail that I'm going to follow
Similar to you, I'm tracing a documented path that I'll follow.
Remember the taste of river mouth
Recalling the flavor of a river's mouth.
The crossing of earth by star and stealth
Referencing celestial navigation and secrecy in crossing the earth.
Of all of the empires I built
Despite building empires, the focus is on the fall and doubt.
As you fell my dear the dawn sung out and I shed all my doubt
As you fell, a new day began, shedding doubt and embracing change.
All the papers say I'm following a distant sail
Media highlights my pursuit, echoing your path.
Like you lady I'm just picking up a paper trail that I'm going to follow
Like you, I'm creating a documented trail to follow.
Arms extended liberty
Symbolizing freedom with extended arms.
The way she looked at you you thought you heard god's call to enmity
Perceiving a significant look, possibly misinterpreting divine instructions for conflict.
Of all of the moments left to be
Considering the remaining moments yet to unfold.
It's now my love the time is now lord come and gather me
Emphasizing the urgency of the present moment, inviting a higher power.
All lord's little children can't come in
Exclusion of some individuals from divine acceptance.
That's the way it's always been
Asserting a historical and unchanging pattern, possibly associated with judgment.
Call it what you will I call it sin
Labeling a perceived wrongdoing as sin.
All lord's little children
Alluding to excluded individuals.
The devil you pay
Referring to the consequences one faces.
The chosen have been chose
Highlighting the selection of specific individuals.
Don't try to tame me
Asserting individuality and resistance against control.
All empires they must fall
Stating the inevitable decline of all empires.
You lead I'll follow
Expressing willingness to follow another's lead.
