Verse 1 I found your letter folded thin, Beside the window, blurred with rain. The ink dissolved where love began, And left me only half your name. The room still holds the shape of you, A ghost in blue electric light. I ask the silence where you went, It only answers with the night. Pre-Chorus Every streetlight leans toward sorrow, Every shadow wears your face. If love was meant to be an answer, Why did yours leave no trace? Chorus You speak in riddles, I answer in rain, Following echoes through a city of pain. Every drop remembers your name, Then disappears down the glass again. Hold me in silence, call me in vain, Love was a question we could not explain. I keep on listening through the pain, For all your riddles in the rain. Verse 2 I walk the avenue we knew, Where midnight opens into blue. The pavement shines like broken glass, Reflecting all I lost in you. Your voice still moves beneath my skin, A faded song, a hidden flame. I ask the rain to bring you near, It only whispers out your name. Bridge If I could read the rain like letters, If I could turn the dark to gold, I’d find the words you never gave me, And warm the places left in cold. But some hearts speak in broken circles, Some goodbyes never say a thing. I keep your question like a secret, And wear your silence like a ring. Final Chorus You speak in riddles, I answer in rain, Calling your name through the thunder again. Every tear becomes a flame, Burning your shadow into my name. Hold me in silence, call me in vain, Love was a question we could not explain. Still I would find you through all this pain, Lost in your riddles, alive in the rain. Outro When morning finds the empty street, And all the stars surrender flame, I’ll leave my heart beneath the clouds, Still listening for your name. And if the rain should fall again, Soft as a memory, sweet as pain, I’ll close my eyes and hear you say Your final riddle in the rain.
