Falling Of The Rain Lyrics - Billy Joel

Once upon a time in the land of misty satin dreams 

There stood a house and a man who painted nature scenes 

He painted trees and fields and animals and streams and he stayed 

And he didn't hear the fallin' of the rain 

In the forest green lived a girl who put her hair in braids 

And she sang as she walked all around the wooded glade 

She was glad when the rain came falling on her face and she sang 

'cause she didn't mind the fallin' of the rain 

Will it always be the same as we recall? 

Does it touch you when the rain begins to fall? 

Ah, but I don't want to know and I don't want to see 

Another rainy day without you lyin' next to me

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

High upon a hill far away from all the dusty crowd is a boy 

With his eyes on the ground; his head is bowed; he is a fool 

And his mind is filled with hopeless dreams and he waits 

But he will not see the fallin' of the rain 

Will it always be the same as we recall? 

Does it touch you when the rain begins to fall? 

Ah, but I don't want to know and I don't want to see 

Another rainy day without you lyin' next to me

So now the boy becomes the man who sits and paints all day 

But the girl with the braids in her hair has gone away 

And it seems that time has brought things to an end; nothing's changed 

'cause you can't stop the fallin' rain.
