lyrics

It's Raining On My Piano

Intro: E F#m x4

E G#m A G#m
Listen to the silence....of this heavy sky
E G#m A G#m
Clouds are rolling in, sky's about to cry,
E G#m A G#m
Lightning's in the distance, can you feel its light?
E G#m A B
Have you an umbrella? Oh... the thunder....

Chorus:
E F#m
There's a storm in this song
E F#m
It's raining on my piano
E F#m
Don't know where I went wrong
E F#m
It's raining on my piano
C#m7 B
How can emptiness
F#m G#m
Take up so much space?
E F#m
It's raining on my piano
G#m F#m
I can't write, this way

The cold is setting in, turning all to ice,
What have I to do? Tell me, what's the price?
I put out my heart, with ink from my eyes,
Taste the truth it brings, Touch the hues it cries

Chorus

C#m7 G#m7 F#m7 G#m7
I must run for shelter, while I wonder why...
Silence is the answer, every time I try Moro mou...(Moro mou)....
Don't you know I love you? Paidi mou...(Paidi mou)...
Are you, that far, blind? Can't you see I need you?
I'm losing my mind As I whisper "Mava mou, Please open his eyes",
"He's so lonely and so cold, Give me courage, make me bold"

Chorus

E F#m E F#m
These words are but purple, without melody
E F#m G#m A
I need you, my Love....Write these words with me.

Chorus Instrumental

The cold is setting in, turning all to ice,
What have I to do? Tell me
