Here the rainclouds come again.
One drop, two drops
And a single tear.
Through the pouring rain I hear
one step, two steps...
Is that you my dear?
Have you finally come through the storm,
back to me, back into our embrace?
Back to our wooden house
on the hillside, with all our friends.
Back to our magical nights and playful days...
Have you made it past the boiling waves?
And come back home to our loose ends?
So finally, we can tie them together
I hear the raindrops on my windowsill,
and I watch the rivers in the street.
And I wait for you...
for your smile and your voice...
three steps, four steps;
a lonesome figure in the rain.
Raindrops on my windowsill,
and on my window pane
trickling to make cracks of water
so I can't see the figure's face.
Is that you...
The rainclouds make the wide sky grey,
and tousles my wild hair
I'm running into the howling wind
I'm searching...
And I'm almost there.
But the figure's disappeared, with no trace.
And I never even saw their face...
My tears are about to join, the raindrops falling on my head
before suddenly my hands are caught
in the wider nets
of your gentle hands and then embrace.
After so many storms and waves,
you've arrived.
