LAV-ACHE A DOWNPOUR OF RAIN

Lav-ache A Downpour Of Rain 

The memory of you emerges from the night around me. 
The river mingles its stubborn lament with the sea. 
My heart is running free unable to breath , 
Deserted like the wharves at dawn. 
It is the hour of departure and my heart is set on run , 
Gray Cold days is now all I know , 
My poor heart is set on hold , 
Lav ache '' A downpour of rain came my way ''  
Oh pit of debris, fierce cave of the shipwrecked 
Love why did you make way to this heart of mine ? 
Lavish of hate that cut at my heart , 
You swallowed everything I ever loved,  
like distance you made far , 
Like the sea everything sank ! 
The happy hour of assault and the kiss. 
The hour of the spell that blazed like a lighthouse. 
Your love was the flame in my heart , 
Your voice danced away in my mind , 
You was my dream come true , 
A love like yours was once a dream , 
But now your love was mine just for a short time , 
This love you gave was so blind , 
I lost sight of what was right , 
turbulent drunkenness of your love came rushing in 
Like a nasty wind ,  
The mist of my soul, winged and wounded. 
You cut me deep with out a blow , 
Lost discoverer, in you everything sank! 
You girdled sorrow, you clung to desire, 
The flame of your love burned me , cut me left me to die  
Sadness I become with much pain of darkness you gave , 
I made the wall of shadow draw back, 
Beyond desire and act, I walked on with a deep whole in 
My heart with no hope to be found when I was to fall face down, 
Oh flesh, my own flesh, A man whom I loved and lost, 
Faraway in the dark ! 
I summon you in the moist hour, I raise my song to you. 
You had me lost in your ways of poison love of the dark , 
You was killing me slowly like a drug of your infinite tenderness. 
Your words was smooth like your dance moves , 
You dance with me as long as you could , 
You been playing at my heart until you got me under your spell, 
Now you are putting me through hell .  
Lav ache '' A downpour of rain .'' is what you gave .
