Kiss me gently in the rain

Without me having to ask

Making dormant all my pain

***

Let your lips leave a stain

So that I may bask

Kiss me gently in the rain

***

With you, comfort I always gain

In this simple task

Making dormant all my pain

***

Our love will always remain

As if sealed and protected in a flask

Kiss me gently in the rain

***

Remove my heart's chain

As if taking off a mask

Making dormant all my pain

***

Our passion will never drain

It will stay crask

Kiss me gently in the rain

Making dormant all my pain
