Rain falls from the sky, 

Yet my feet are cemented on the ground. 

And the water beads on my face, 

Turning my hair wet when I wish it were dry. 

But somehow I don't care. 

Do you still find comfort 
In the way the leaves change 
Green to orange to red to green again?  
Do your clothes still smell like apples and spices?  
Do you still drink cider 

Today I am just a man, 
In love with a girl. 

She has eyes that glimmer, 
Like emerald water. 

And she smells sweet, 
Like lemons and fruit. 

She loves eating pomegranate seeds, 

The memories of a past day 
Flood my mind
The way the sky 
Framed the earth 
As for the first time 
They walked together 

As the buildings 
Surrounded by the sky 
And the sun 

This song sounds like spring 
The joy we had 
Sitting in the grass
As it stained your white overalls 
That your mother embroidered 
With purple flowers 
Your favorite color

Every time I close my eyes 
I hope to open them 
And see you again 
I wish to hear your voice 
For one last time 
Because I know I never will 

Every time I sleep
