Lyrics: CY7
Music: CY7
Rain fell softly through the smoke
Tiny footsteps, bruised and slow
Leather shadows crossed the night
Lanterns fading in the light
Every scar upon her skin
Spoke of where her life had been
No warm place to call her own
Only rain and iron stone
Then a lonely stranger came
Hidden underneath the rain
Not a hero dressed in light
Just another soul denied
You found me in White Alley
Beneath the lantern light
When the world had turned against me
You stayed there through the night
Two broken hearts were wandering
Through the storm and through the pain
And somewhere inside the darkness
We learned to live again
Steam arose through midnight streets
Cold brass gears beneath our feet
He carried shadows in his eyes
Years of sorrow left behind
Yet beneath the weary gray
Still remained a fragile flame
Step by step beneath the rain
We learned how to heal the pain
You found me in White Alley
Where the lonely shadows cried
Now the rain above the rooftops
No longer makes me hide
Though the lantern light grows faint
Its warmth still softly stays
For the girl once left forgotten
And the boy who chose to stay
Rain still falls on iron roads
Steam still rises through the cold
But beneath the weary sky
A small light survived the night
