"The Rain Came Down" lyrics

The Rain Came Down

I called you on the phone tonight
Said, you were doing fine
I held my breath, said, "I'm alright"
But we read between the lines

I asked you, "Are you all alone?"
You paused before you answered
I swallowed hard, apologised
You said, "It doesn't matter"

And then the rain came down
The rain came down

Like tears against my window pane
They cry instead of me
My heart is numb and cries no more
For fading memories

But still the rain comes down
The rain comes down

Just like tears from up above
Falling down upon my world
See the rain comes all around
Well, I just can't comprehend
How it all went wrong back then

Should have held on
Should have been strong
Should have never let
It end

Still the rain comes down

Your photograph's still standing here
Feels like you're watching me
But photographs can't fill this space
Or give the love I need

Still the rain comes down
The rain comes down

Still the rain comes down
The rain comes down
It's falling down on me

Still the rain comes down
It's falling down on me
The rain comes down

It's falling down on me
Rain
It's falling down on me
Rain
Falling down on me
Rain
Rain
Down on me
