In the rain (v.2)

[Intro]
(Slow tempo 72 bpm, hypnotically smooth bass, flageolet, slide guitar intro)

[Verse 1]
I watch as the water streams down on the glass
Nature knows no repose
The steep waves are crashing, the tide will not pass
And clouds hide the heat as it grows
Through damp, blurry glimmers on windows of gray
The world drowns in patterns unclear
[Pre-chorus]
You can’t tell the friend from the foe in the fray
Just shadows that drift and appear

[Chorus]
Don’t blame cruel fate with a bitter regret
Time’s race is beyond our command
To face the life’s end without being beset
Love fiercely, with heart in your hand

[Verse 2]
We swear hollow oaths with a grimace of lies
Where each is a victim and knave
And hope’s golden crown, as the cold current rise
Is lost in the rot of the wave
Now listen: the wind sings of days left behind
No room for a slip or a fall
[Pre-chorus]
For every step taken leaves traces defined
No way to erase them at all
[Instrumental Break]
(Smoky live slide guitar improvisation, bass guitar, flageolet)

[Bridge]
(Шёпотом)
Don’t blame your fate with bitter reproach
Time’s flow is beyond our command
So that life’s end won’t come alone
Love tenderly, love with passion grand

[Final Chorus]
Don’t blame cruel fate with a bitter regret
Time’s race is beyond our command
To face the life’s end without being beset
Love fiercely, with heart in your hand
[slide guitar Solo]
[Outro]
Love tenderly, love with passion grand
[End]
