Title:
“Rhapsody of the Rueful Rain”

Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
G Cadd9 Em D
Beneath the rueful rain, I stand all alone,
G Cadd9 Em D
Tears hidden in the droplets, heart as heavy as stone.
G Cadd9 Em D
Tangled thoughts, querulous mind, a melody of pain,
G Cadd9 Em D
Oh, where is the sunshine to my rhapsody of the rain?

(Chorus)
C G D Em
Rhapsody of the rueful rain, falling hard and fast,
C G D
Drown my sorrows, wash my pain, cleanse my troubled past.

(Verse 2)
G Cadd9 Em D
The streets echo with silence, only my footsteps remain,
G Cadd9 Em D
Under the grey clouds, in the rhapsody of the rain.
G Cadd9 Em D
Courage fades, hope erodes, it’s a familiar refrain,
G Cadd9 Em D
Lost in the rhythm, of the rhapsody of the rain.

(Chorus)
C G D Em
Rhapsody of the rueful rain, a symphony of sorrow,
C G D
Wash me clean, make me whole, bring a brighter tomorrow.
