Rain Is Falling

---

     	(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 cane 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 the 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)

     		REPEAT CHORUS:

     	(It's raining, it's pouring, the old man is snoring) 
     	(Rain rain, go away, come again another day)
