tear drops

As I lay my head
On love's deathbed
Come the tears of pain and sorrow
Wash away the dreams of tomorrow

Like rain that falls on a summer day
Pouring so easily...
so softly...
so sadly...

Like streams that flow across mountains
Rushing so freely...
so gently...
so helplessly...

Like the night that comes to cease the day
Bearing the painful truth of reality
That swallows my only hope of life
Destroying our precious paradise
