It has always seemed to me that this is song is Bittencourt’s vision about Angra splitting, while Rainy Nights would be Andre’s.
[Verse 1]
I see the stars in your eyes
Portraying my face in the future
Nice is the weather outside
But I'll stay at home
Oh! Waiting for the rain
[Verse 2]
Memories of when we were young
Wishing so bad to be older
Now you may look to the past
The only way forward
[Pre-Chorus]
Lightning up another cigarrette
Playing cool while cracking up inside
Saying "Hi" to people's like saying goodbye
Laughing, but wishing to cry
[Chorus]
Gentle change of tides
Upcoming days
Oh, the spirits of a new horizon fall
Into old dreams
Uh, uh
Uh, uuh
[Verse 3]
Standing here howling at the storm
Shouting how life could be perfect
Well, then the walls have to fall
To start it again
[Chorus]
Gentle change of tides
Upcoming days
Oh, the spirits of a new horizon fall
Into old dreams
[Piano Interlude]
[Pre-Chorus]
Lightning up another cigarrette
Playing cool while cracking up inside
Saying "Hi" to people's like saying goodbye
Laughing, but wishing to cry
[Chorus]
Gentle change of tides
Upcoming days
Oh, the spirits of a new horizon fall
Into old dreams
Far away from sights
Oh, hidden in the haze
Oh, oh, spirits of a new horizon fall
Into old dreams
