The Art of Racing in the Rain/ Change Your Chains Epilogue
Location
Alone the rain is not your friend
It soaks your coat and taps your head
Your feet grow cold and you fill with dread
The long walk grows longer soaking wet
But today you are not alone
Another’s smile lies beneath makeup smears
As the sky lets go a million tears
Now you are racing in the rain
The rain now no longer stings
As a sable palm spreads its wings
To shelter two untroubled things
Racing in the rain
Eventually this storm will end
And again you will be just a friend
But for now that thought brings you no pain
The art of racing in the rain
You may think of all you wish to change
Fill your head with better ways
To live the past over again
You may think of all you wish to change
If all you now know was known then
Make edits on the script of your life
Maybe the rain would not hurt, nor hide, your pain
For surely you would have found your Lois Lane
As surely as regrets will become your chain
Leading you twice to mistakes again
You may think of all you wish to change
Every detail neatly arranged
Yet regret not, for your life unchained
Is greater through fate than manually changed
So love the sunshine, love the rain
Love who you are and where you've been
And where you shall go in chance's reign
This, is the art of racing in the rain.
