Common As The Rain Lyrics - David Wilcox

Night before she's leaving, there's suddenly a change 

She slowly sits beside me and she softly calls my name 

And gives me an address and she says, "Come visit soon" 

And yesterday she wouldn't notice that I was in the room 

I guess she stayed awake 'cause it's so hard for her to say 

We both had built our hopes up, but the love just slipped away 

She's worried I might try to burden her with all the blame 

For breaking up my heart as if she'd planned it from the start 

Just 'cause that's the way some people do 

Oh, but I have been on her side of it too 

So I said, "Don't feel ashamed, don't feel guilty for the pain 

Sometimes you build your hopes up and they fall back down again" 

The time we had was magic and the love was not in vain 

And falling down's as common as the rain 

And something about me leaves you cold 

But something even you don't know 

And don't think that it's wrong to go, 'cause of what we had before 

Just leave me with those magic times, I'd rather keep you on my mind 

Then see you try to fake the feelings, trying not to be unkind 

Oh now don't feel ashamed, don't feel guilty for the pain 

Sometimes you build your hopes up and they fall back down again 

The time we had was magic and the love was not in vain 

And falling down's as common as the rain 

The only thing for certain is that nothing stays the same 

And falling down's as common as the rain
