Rainy Victoria

Music and Lyrics by Tommy and Geoff Piper

I shied away from the candle you placed
In my window. What was her name?
Like the tides of the ocean recede
I fell away by the wayside.

To forget I try to stay awake
Paper smiles dry up and they blow away.
I hear her name she’s knocking on my door.
Can it be I’m at a crossroad in time?

Rainy Victoria can you help me?
Shining the truth with the light that you breathe.
I search for answers everywhere
But still it’s yours I find.

Hold it out. Hold it in then let it fade and
Tell me why can't you do it for me?
I lived my life through your eyes and now I'm blinded
By the weight of my jealousy.

I rode alone this path for years I forsake.
The streams of tears dry up and they wash away
My dreams and mistakes.
My heart’s weakened embrace.
Can it be so simple as to remind?

Rainy Victoria can you help me?
Shining the truth with the light that you breathe.
I search for answers everywhere
But still it’s yours I find.
This is my life.

Awash wind blows to the edge of me.
I’m awake at times but still I see.
And I notice you notice me.
But I can hear the thoughts you share with me.
Share with me.
If’ you’re there I want to share it with you.

Floating closely to the edge I'm awake
Those paper smiles dry up and they blow away.
I hear the name she’s knocking on my door
Can it be…? Can it be…?

Rainy Victoria can you help me?
By shining the truth with the light that you breathe.
I search for answers everywhere
But still it’s yours not mine.
Rainy Victoria can you help me?
By shining the truth with the light that you breathe.
I search for answers everywhere
But still it’s yours I find.
This is my life.
This is my life.

To forget I try to stay awake
Paper smiles dry up and they blow away.
