Stormy Days

STORMY DAYS - Video version Raindrops Falling down in winter Trickling from the rooftops Running down his face he sees Raindrops Flowing down like rivers Washing clean the memories He’s been trying to erase Stormy days Walking in the rain Stormy days Trying to forget Trying to explain Stormy days This old world’s just not the same And wishing that these stormy days Would find an end Rainbows Over the horizon Shining through the rainclouds Promising a thousand years Raindrops Forming into small pools Mirroring his wet face They no longer hide the tears At least before then we were free We had some dreams to find And old aches were forgotten When the sun began to shine But now these stormy days are here And everything’s so strange The yearning to be homeward bound Grows stronger every day Once we were so young And full of memories to be Now all we do is reminisce And wonder what became Of humanity © 1971 Sandy Simpson
