Let the wind pick up yet stronger And drive this rain in your eyes To hide your angry foolish tears So they'll never know how you bleed Take heart, take heart, you'll get through When they can't see you're crying For the raindrops on your face You let loose a fleeting smile of victory If they can't see the man behind the mask You're safe, you're safe, salvation I've walked that like and recovered I've known that powerful touch The protection of the elements To blanket your emotions With the weather that surrounds Another silhouette on the promenade An excuse to linger over past's dregs Clearing your head an excuse for self-torture I'd help your through if you swallow your pride Coaxing a smile from red raw features The true art of a close friend Damn, I mix up my actions Am I flirting or comforting? Your smile, your smile, warms my heart Rebuilding fortifications I want rubble Don't hide from the world in the rain The clouds must clear some day Maybe I'll shine upon you one time My hand, slips down, to your knee
