Rain Is Falling (Electric Light Orchestra)

(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. CHORUS: 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. REPEAT CHORUS: (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)
