Rain on the river

Painting: Micheal Zarowsky

A sudden rain on the river
Someone came knocking
Or the waves in my heart
Half hidden by you

Searching for warm hands
Once we were together
Searching for hair scent
On our first love it lingers 

Which station is waiting
For you to stop by
An endless afternoon rain
A leaf falling silently

The river filled with tears
When the rain pouring down
Aroma of youthful heartbeats
Pure love bud around

Thin waves flap on banks
Searching for the past
When you cross the river
Life floating in the rain
