[bodytext] => It was a sunny day, I seem to recall As I sat in a field of grass so tall I stared at the perfection around me so I could pray for the rain to make things grow There wasn't a cloud in the sky The light grew dull, and I felt so strange It was all so ripe to make a change It was all so beautiful, all so right I felt like I should hate the light Whichever way I wandered in the dark I stood but couldn't walk, lied but couldn't talk I tried to swap a pillow for a gun The rain, it poured on a sunny day I looked, but couldn't find my way Because I was a traitor to the sun The power of my memory I can't seem to revive Because sterile thoughts are like a thousand knives The more I fight, the more I consider The bridge that leads to the other side of the river Why can't I just leave my mind alone? Don't know why I'm so nervous all the time My life is stuck in this recurring crime A look, a touch, a kiss is all it takes The guilt is there but the hope is what it makes The fear still rules the night I stood but couldn't walk, lied but couldn't talk I tried to swap a pillow for a gun The rain, it poured on a sunny day I looked, but couldn't find my way Because I was a traitor to the sun There's so much traffic on eternity's streets I couldn't figure out where we should meet The danger's clear down each and every road But the threat of love can make me so sad I'm soaking wet and still can't move a step Don't cry, my sweet, I'm here a little while The comfort love is there in the smile The grass will grow if you just let it be We'll survive the rain I made, the sun will set us free And I'll sit here with you I stood but couldn't walk, lied but couldn't talk I tried to swap a pillow for a gun The rain, it poured on a sunny day I looked, but couldn't find my way Because I was a traitor to the sun [comments] => 2 [counter] => 181 [topic] => 43 [informant] => trixxx [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )
