Loneliness is like Rain

Am⁷ Dm⁷Loneliness is like rain - it pours on empty streets,

Am⁷ Dm⁷Through gutters in the mind, it takes down everyone it meets.

Am⁷ Dm⁷Some find release in an effort to escape their minds.

Am⁷But they never see the end.

Dm⁷ Am⁷ When they come back, it's loneliness they find.

Em⁷ Em Am⁷ Sometimes I just don't understand

Em⁷ Em Am⁷ A God who won't make this loneliness end.

Am⁷ Dm⁷In a life full of rain, we so often forget the sun's sweet kiss.

Am⁷ Dm⁷The clouds mask the fears, for loneliness breeds loneliness.

Am⁷ Dm⁷It's just a state of mind, be it empty streets or empty lives.

Am⁷To fix that street or change that life,

Dm⁷ Am⁷ you have to cross over to the other side.

Em⁷ Em Am⁷ How often I've come to cross that vacant road,

Em⁷ Em Am⁷ to find a God who tries to make himself known.

Em⁷ Em Am⁷ There's one thing I know I've found with some certainty:

Em⁷ Em Am⁷ Wherever we go there's no streets that are emp-ty.

Em⁷ Em Am⁷ We blind ourselves not knowing how much we can share.

Em⁷ Em Am⁷ But open our eyes and we find there's no loneliness there.

Am⁷ Dm⁷Loneliness is like rain - it pours on empty streets.

Am⁷ Dm⁷Happy is the one who knows there are no empty streets.
