So she listens to the wind
smiling as it calls to her
Falling stars light her way
to a life she begins
All the rain drops fall
to her hearts strong beat
Giving her the hope she looks for
so she can feel complete.

(Chorus)
Head on down
to the water
Head on down
to be free
Let it cover you
and take away your problems
Let it hold you
to me...
Let the rain
fall over your shoulder
Like my love
does to you
remember that
there is a tommorrow
to hold onto
what we'll be.

The silence of sleep eludes her
on the couch where she lays
Eyes that look for a new sunrise
close when tears dry away
As the smile washes the pain aside
remembering that last good night
Of arms embraced in forever
and forever is tonight.
  (Chorus)

So she listens to the rain
and the sound of sleep around her
Realizing her mistake
As her heart tears away
But the rain is its own remeady
for a soul ready to fly
And give love a chance that it needs
let the water cleanse your heart today.
  (Chorus)

Michael, just lovely. I like your elemental earth references throughout this song, and the idea of the cleansing rain providing hope and strength. I really enjoyed this!
