Monday Rain

It's the start of something brand new

It's the start of the closing line

With the door cracked an inch or two

Do I dare set my foot inside?

Do I love you then lose you

Or do I put my trust in time?

Do I let myself refuse to count on a fateful dream of mine?

Within me

It tugs on

My heartstrings

And I know

It's just a sky of silver gray

Just a narrow passageway

Just a song cut off halfway

Just another Monday rain

Would I spend a week in the heart of the city

In the center of your heart?

For a flash of fame before I'd lose the game

And be stuck on the outskirts, back at the start

There's no price I would not pay

For the superlative insured

So I'll light the candle, hope it does not melt away

But what if patience brings reward?

Within me

It tugs on

My heartstrings

And I know

It's just a sky of silver gray

Just a narrow passageway

Just a song cut off halfway

Just another Monday rain

Raining harder now, raining harder now, raining harder now

Within me

It tugs on

My heartstrings

My heart sings

This anthem of misery

Is it consequence or providence I'm on the fence

Of imminence and nothing to gain drenched in the Monday rain
