Rain Is Falling Lyrics - 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 

Ooh, the rain is falling, ooh, the rain is falling 

Ooh, 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 

Ooh, the rain is falling, ooh, the rain is falling 

I said "Ooh, the rain is falling, will it wash away those lonely tears?" 

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

Ooh, the rain is falling, I said, "Ooh the rain is falling" 

Ooh, the rain keeps on falling, 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)
