the rain and wind rage

and in the storm

the train station reflects on the water

following the tracks

past the distant fog

i stare out there alone and sing

that's right

to this waiting room

i know you'll come

drenched by the downpour

surely i should smile then

so we won't ever forget again

the homely flower you gave me

i didn't care for

so i turned it away

yet why didn't you say anything

and just keep apologizing to me?

as i sing sorrowful songs

i know i'm of no importance

but i simply have to tell you

about the color and smell of that flower

that's right

to this waiting room

i know you'll come

swept by the wind

surely you'll be so disheveled then

you won't be able to say a word

made victim to a prank and laughed at

you look at your scattered bags

then pick your things up one by one

that scene suddenly comes to mind

that shyly-smiling face of yours

simply shouldn't look so lonely

by the time this storm has passed

i want to tell you everything

it's difficult
