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.

Chorus
Ooh - the rain is falling,
Ooh - the rain is falling,
Ooh - the rain is falling,
Will it wash away the 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,

Chorus
