The Sun Will Peek One Day
[Verse 1] The rain has wrapped the streets since break of dawn, The yards fell silent, soaked, all colour gone. A drenched stray dog stands shivering by the lamp, Too cold to move, too numb to feel the damp. The wind was spinning leaves across the ground, By the old cottage shadows danced around. Today the rain has nailed them to the stone — They lie upon the steps, still as a bone. [Verse 2] A certain sadness settles in today, My soul is still, no urge to rush away. The window shows a grey and hollow sky, A day that feels too empty to get by. But I won't scold myself for feeling low, Some days have neither light nor fire to show. I know this sadness won't forever stay, It'll drift away like clouds and fade to grey. [Pre-Chorus] Let rain keep drumming on the rooftops now, Let the late garden breathe its chilly air. I know the sun is walking somewhere high And soon it'll turn toward us through the glare. [Chorus] The sun will peek through clouds one day, And push the grey skies far away. And autumn smiles — we don't mind the rain, That cold downpour behind our backs again. It'll grant us warmth so thin and frail, The last pale light beyond the veil. And something in my soul will settle down, As if we'd found the summer in this town. [Interlude] [Verse 3] That little pup beneath the rowan tree No longer gazes out so mournfully. The wind has grown more gentle and more mild, The rain is losing all its sorrowful style. The rains will pass, the pavements will dry clear, And puddles will reflect the blue up here. Though October's gifts are few and small, It gives us light — and that's the warmest gift of all. [Bridge] Not every day is meant to bring us joy, Sometimes the sadness comes for its own sake. It helps to sit in silence through the rain So we can shine again when dawn will break. And if today the sadness sits nearby, Let it rest a while beside the pane. Beyond the dark and heavy sheets of rain A brand-new spring is brightening again. [Chorus] The sun will peek through clouds one day, And push the grey skies far away. And autumn smiles — we don't mind the rain, That cold downpour behind our backs again. It'll grant us warmth so thin and frail, The last pale light beyond the veil. And something in my soul will settle down, As if we'd found the summer in this town. The sun will peek through clouds one day, The yard will wake from sleep at last. And even that poor soaked and wandering stray Will feel that life holds warmth and holds on fast. [Outro] And something in my soul grows warm…
