TEARS OF LOVERS

I see the raindrops falling
From a gray and leaden sky.
They seem like teardrops falling
From some hidden Celestial eye.

I wonder if they’re all the tears
Of lovers who could have been.
Yet walked away in the days of time
Into the years of might have been.

And how that you and I fit in,
Into all this Galactic roar.
"Cause somehow we never were,
Yet still we might have been.

Why did we ever have to meet
And become two never weres?
It seems an earthly and mortal sin
To leave behind all we might have been.
