Early in the morning,
The sun was up and the sky was very blue.
Without a warning,
As I looked out, my thoughts returned to you.
A noise in the city made the children run,
And hide themselves away,
And thunder boomed and lightning filled the sky.
Looking from this window,
A thousand rivers running past my door,
Standing on an island,
Looking for someone, upon the shore,
I can see it very clearly nothing's really changed,
Then lightning strikes across an empty sky.
Ooh - the rain is falling,
Ooh - the rain is falling,
Ooh - the rain is falling,
Will it wash away those lonely tears?
With their brand new time transporter,
They'll think maybe I fought to get away.
But with all their great inventions
And all their good intentions here I stay.
Down on the corner where the sun had shone,
The people gathered 'round,
Then scattered as the raindrops hit the ground.
Ooh - the rain is falling,
Ooh - the rain is falling,
Ooh - the rain is falling,
Will it wash away the lonely tears?
