Summer Rain

The lyrics look back on a tender goodbye at a train station. The lovers dance in the rain and promise that nothing will change, but the train carries one away. In the present, the speaker still dreams of this person and returns to the memory for comfort. The mood shifts from playful closeness to sadness and lasting longing.

The summer rain is more than weather: it becomes the setting for a vivid memory that the speaker keeps revisiting. Dancing “somewhere in my heart” suggests that the relationship continues emotionally, even though the person is gone. The thunder, lightning, and wind bring the past close again, as if ordinary summer weather can awaken feelings the speaker cannot control.

The lyrics do not explain why the loved one leaves. The mention of a “military train” may suggest separation connected with military service, but it does not tell us exactly what happened or whether the couple expected to meet again. The speaker’s memories are joyful as well as painful: laughter, kisses, and dancing remain part of the goodbye. “Love is strange” may capture that mixture—love can feel joyful in the moment and still leave someone aching afterward.
