So you say you've written letters

And you've mailed them to yourself

And through the politics of compromise

You've left them lying upon your shelf

At the risk of seeming crazy

I've set off to find your cure

With apologies for knowing

It's a difficult time of year



And the shadows you leave behind you

Are like the rain that's crashing down

When there's no one left around

I'll be the rain that's crashing

Rain that's crashing down



So you say we're going nowhere

With the fear of wasting youth

Through the different times and with different eyes

I see it every change in you

And now we've reached the point of knowing

That in love we're never sure

Still I'm holding on tight to memories

And there you go walking out the door



And the shadows you leave behind you

Are like the rain that's falling down

And your halo was left in town

And still the rain comes crashing down

And the sadness you leave behind you

Like shadows across the ground

When there's no one left around

I'll be the rain that's crashing

Rain that's crashing down

(repeat)



Rain comes crashing down (x7)

The rain (x3)
