At the corner of the street the red building stands
Facing the chaos of life where we once held hands
Thunder whispers softly like the beat of your heart
A sound that pulls me closer though we’re worlds apart
I lean against the railing watching the world go by
Counting faces in the crowd but not the tears I cry
The dust of passing cars rises to the trees
Time slips through my fingers like a fading breeze
The west wind brings the rain it washes over me
Drenching every memory of how it used to be
Tomorrow’s just a shadow a question in my mind
How do I face this emptiness the love I left behind
In the Vermilion Tower I listen to the rain
Each drop a confession of my heart’s sweet pain
Love like a flood has drowned my soul in blue
But I can’t wash away the warmth I found in you
In the Vermilion Tower I hear the wind’s sad song
It carries your shadow though you’ve been gone so long
Love like dust still lingers in the air
And I still feel the happiness we used to share
Outside my window thunder taps its lonely tune
At the edge of dusk and dawn I’m lost without you
Your silhouette still sways in my mind’s embrace
A ghost of all the beauty I can’t replace
I count the strangers passing but not the scars I bear
The wounds you left behind the weight of my despair
The dust of passing cars rises to the trees
Time slips through my fingers like a fading breeze
The west wind brings the rain it washes over me
Drenching every memory of how it used to be
Tomorrow’s just a shadow a question in my mind
How do I face this emptiness the love I left behind
In the Vermilion Tower I listen to the rain
Each drop a confession of my heart’s sweet pain
Love like a flood has drowned my soul in blue
But I can’t wash away the warmth I found in you
In the Vermilion Tower I hear the wind’s sad song
It carries your shadow though you’ve been gone so long
Love like dust still lingers in the air
And I still feel the happiness we used to share
Oh the rain falls harder like tears from the sky
I’m drowning in the echoes of your last goodbye
The wind keeps calling but you’re not here to stay
And I’m left with nothing but the price I pay
In the Vermilion Tower I listen to the rain
Each drop a confession of my heart’s sweet pain
Love like a flood has drowned my soul in blue
But I can’t wash away the warmth I found in you
In the Vermilion Tower I hear the wind’s sad song
It carries your shadow though you’ve been gone so long
Love like dust still lingers in the air
And I still feel the happiness we used to share
In the Vermilion Tower I’m alone with the rain
Whispering your name through the heartache and pain
Love like dust will fade with the years
But I’ll always remember the joy through my tears
