[Intro]
(Haunting piano melody, 4 bars; gentle rain fades in)
[Verse 1]
My world is blurred,
And the lines have all faded.
Well, I’m on my way — maybe we’ll meet, maybe not.
That’s just how it turned out, what’s there to say?
I can’t fix it, my heart’s like stone. (female echo: «like stone…» — faint, breathy)
[Pre Chorus]
Rain falls down, the city sleeps,
No more waiting, no more dreams. (female echo: «dreams…» — distant)
[Chorus]
Rain. A taxi. And you’re not waiting anymore.
The city’s asleep.
On the window — a pattern of drops.
My heart is beating,
Pain, pain, pain (female echo: «pain…» — echo once, reverb tail)
A wound in my chest,
It hurts so much.
Don’t go away, my taxi,
Don’t go away.
Stop, taxi, stop. (female echo: «stop…» — soft fade)
[Verse 2]
The wind will whisper songs to us,
About what we never told each other. (female echo: «each other…» — subtle)
The taxi rushes on, the wind is crying,
About how we couldn’t hold on to happiness.
My heart has turned to stone. (female echo: «to stone…» — breathy)
[Verse 3]
Taxi, another taxi, water all around.
Rain’s pouring down in sheets. (female echo: «in sheets…» — faint)
And you’re sitting, maybe, by the window,
Waiting for a call. (female echo: «for a call…» — distant)
Don’t go away, my taxi,
Don’t go away.
Stop, taxi, stop. (female echo: «stop…» — soft fade)
[Verse 4]
I know you’re there, in the arms of the night,
By the lamp where the last light went out. (female echo: «went out…» — reverb tail)
And every beat of rain on the old, old roof —
My world that’s no longer there.
I can’t fix it. (female echo: «fix it…» — fades slowly)
[Chorus] (full energy, female vocals only)
Rain. A taxi. And you’re not waiting anymore.
The city’s asleep.
On the window — a pattern of drops.
My heart is beating,
The wound is fresh,
Pain, pain, pain (female echo: «pain!» — strong reverb)
Don’t go away, my taxi,
Don’t go away.
Stop, taxi, stop…
Stop (female echo: «stop…» — long fade to silence)
[Verse 5]
What are all these thoughts for?
It’s wet and gloomy, just like always.
The taxi carries me into that night.
Well, I’m on my way — maybe we’ll meet, maybe it’s not meant to be.
Cold water has taken all my thoughts away.
That’s just how it happened, what’s there to say?
[Outro]
(Rain softens, piano melody returns, violin sustains with reverb, breathy vocal ad libs in background)
I’m heading home — but what for?
Is it a meeting with you, or is it forever?
I hear the rain tapping on the glass,
And the echo said:
«Never…»
«Never» (female echo fades slowly, reverb tail)
We’ve become ghosts in a rainy, gray day,
While the rain dances without touching our hands.
And your voice tears my soul, tears my soul so painfully.
Stop, there’s no point in waiting for a taxi…
Stop, stop, it’s not worth it anymore. (piano and violin sustain with long reverb tail, rain fades slowly over 8 bars, all instruments and effects fade out completely)
