This town has never known your name
but every streetlight feels the same
Flickering like the hope I knew,
when I still dreamed of loving you
The sky above me’s dry and pale
as if your tears would tip the scale
But it’s been years, and still no rain
just aching ground, and deeper pain
This is where the rain forgot to fall,
where memories haunt and shadows crawl
The drought of you still cracks my soul,
I’m parched where once your love was whole
I walk the park where you once stood
your voice still etched in knotted wood
The swing moves on with empty grace,
but never finds your phantom face
I leave the porch light on each night,
a lighthouse made of broken light
But no one comes, not even wind
The silence thick, the dark has thinned
This is where the rain forgot to fall,
where memories haunt and shadows crawl
The drought of you still cracks my soul,
I’m parched where once your love was whole
They say the sky forgets to weep
for those who love but cannot keep
But I still beg each cloud I see
to bring you back in rain to me
And if the storm should ever come,
I’ll stand beneath and won’t dare run
Let every drop recall it all—
in the place where rain forgot to fall.
