November rain washed away my guilt
November rain washed away my pain
November rain - so tired I felt
November rain was not just any rain
...

After the children go to sleep,
Before the moon suddenly appears,
Between evening and midnight,
When lovers kiss for goodbye-
...

I wanted to grow, to rise from the wreckage-
to go out on my own, to be loved again.
But no one was near, to watch as I managed-
to take that first step, to break out from the pain.
...

Don't know how
Don't know why
But I found myself crying,
praying to the sky
...

...

Have I really become lifeless,
Or is it just time,
...

So here I am, all alone…..
Gazing at an imaginary fire, picturing home…..
Thinking about happiness, cheerful faces….
longing for some joy, a few intimate moments….
...
