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 the 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
