Lyrics[]
Every time
The rain comes down,
Close my eyes and listen.
I can hear the lonesome sound
Of the sky as it cries.
Listen to the rain
Here it comes again
Hear it in the rain
Feel the touch
Of tears that fall
...They won't fall forever
In the way the day will flow
All things come,
All things go.
Listen to the rain
The rain...
Here it comes again...
Again...
Hear it in the rain
The rain...
Late at night
I drift away -
I can hear you calling,
And my name
Is in the rain,
Leaves on trees whispering,
Deep blue sea's mysteries.
Even when
This moment ends,
Can't let go this feeling.
Everything
Will come again
In the sound,
Falling down,
Of the sky as it cries.
Hear my name in the rain.
