Sun & Rain
from Skipping Stones by Forging Reverie
lyrics
Sun and rain
Stray particles, speckling
Painting patterns you made so familiar...
Stain my skin
Chains were broken
By the words you spoke with my lips...
As they came
On that night, the city
Shook the stars from your sky, with a wish...
In your eyes, remained
The rest, raining down on me
I hid them inside your kiss...
For just that one moment
The world disappeared
And the city was frozen
Along with our fears
For all that we'd bade
Had formed into the crown
Of both sun and rain
And all came... crashing down...
Sun and rain
All life, I've trained
To discern heart from brain at the start...
Stolen, they
Look exactly the same
But they've never looked quite like this...
Crescent mane
Dancing - Dazzling
The dark side dared to shine, clear and crisp...
I think I saw this in a dream
Or maybe on the silver screen
Long before I was sure that it could not exist...
The day, torn asunder
Was bound in the clouds
Of a storm, without thunder
To drown city sounds
For there struck no lightning
Of doubt where we found
In both sun and rain
The walls came... crashing down...
I’ve never felt such freedom - I’ve never felt so alive...
How many boundaries can just one moment defy...?
(For just that one moment
The world disappeared
And the city was frozen
Along with our fears
For all that we'd bade
Had formed into the crown
Of both sun and rain
And all came... crashing down...)
Stray particles, speckling
Painting patterns you made so familiar...
Stain my skin
Chains were broken
By the words you spoke with my lips...
As they came
On that night, the city
Shook the stars from your sky, with a wish...
In your eyes, remained
The rest, raining down on me
I hid them inside your kiss...
For just that one moment
The world disappeared
And the city was frozen
Along with our fears
For all that we'd bade
Had formed into the crown
Of both sun and rain
And all came... crashing down...
Sun and rain
All life, I've trained
To discern heart from brain at the start...
Stolen, they
Look exactly the same
But they've never looked quite like this...
Crescent mane
Dancing - Dazzling
The dark side dared to shine, clear and crisp...
I think I saw this in a dream
Or maybe on the silver screen
Long before I was sure that it could not exist...
The day, torn asunder
Was bound in the clouds
Of a storm, without thunder
To drown city sounds
For there struck no lightning
Of doubt where we found
In both sun and rain
The walls came... crashing down...
I’ve never felt such freedom - I’ve never felt so alive...
How many boundaries can just one moment defy...?
(For just that one moment
The world disappeared
And the city was frozen
Along with our fears
For all that we'd bade
Had formed into the crown
Of both sun and rain
And all came... crashing down...)
