Electric Light Orchestra

Rain Is Falling

(Rain rain, go away, come again another day)

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.

Ooohh, the rain is falling

Ooohh, the rain is falling

Ooohh, the rain is falling

Will it wash away those lonely tears?

(It's raining, it's pouring, the old man is snoring)

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.

Ooohh, the rain is falling

Ooohh, the rain is falling

Ooohh, the rain is falling

Will it wash away those lonely tears?

(It's raining, it's pouring, the old man is snoring)

Ooohh, the rain is falling

Ooohh, the rain is falling

Ooohh, the rain keeps on falling

Will it wash away those lonely tears?

(It's raining, it's pouring, the old man is snoring)

(Rain rain, go away, come again another day)
