Osaka Rain Lyrics

I walked the streets of Osaka alone

Where the neon lights turned hearts to stone

The rain fell soft it knew my name

It whispered secrets all the same

I passed the shrine the cherry trees

Their petals danced upon the breeze

And in the air a voice remained

A ghost who sang of love and pain

Osaka rain falls through the night

It hides the tears it dims the light

But every drop that hits the ground

Is a lost word a fleeting sound

The alleys spoke of time and loss

Of hearts betrayed of lines we crossed

I saw your face in windowpanes

Reflected there in endless rain

The saxophone played soft and low

It called me back to what I know

But every note it tried to save

Was washed away by what I gave

Osaka rain falls through the night

It hides the tears it dims the light

But every drop that hits the ground

Is a lost word a fleeting sound

I bought a charm from an old man's cart

He said it heals a broken heart

But charms can't bring back what we lose

They only teach us what to choose

I walked away through city lights

Through crowded streets and endless nights

And still the rain it followed me

A song without a melody

Osaka rain will fall again

On broken dreams and old refrains

But every drop that finds my skin

Will cleanse the soul of what has been
