September.Rains lyrics

The raindrops are playing sonatas

On the piano of soaking wet days,

And downspouts are sounding staccato

With organ-like tones in the haze.

Each year right after November

Imagining orchestral brass

I wait for this wet rainy weather,

I wait and I wait but alas...

Chorus:

They are finally here -

Those September rains

It’s finally here -

The cool rainy autumn

And clouds are hanging

Like long heavy chains and

The month number eight’s gone,

It’s all but forgotten

Though I’m not naïve any longer

I still say let’s wait for the rains!

And hope in me doesn’t get stronger

Like rains years pass, what remains?

They’ll come to an end one day, buddy,

When my blue-eyed slayer comes by

My thousandth rain for somebody

Will be like a baby’s first cry

Chorus.

I wish that my future was known

And could just be read on my palm,

So I would have time to atone

Be grateful, at peace and stay calm.

On second thought – no, I don’t want that,

I’ve never been friends with my fate,

To know the end – I’m beyond that

I’ll carry uncertainty’s weight.

Chorus.
