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
Ooh-the rain is falling
Ooh-the rain is falling
Ooh-the rain is falling
Will it wash away those lonely tears

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

Chorus
