Electric Light Orchestra 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 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,

(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,

Chorus

Ooh-the rain is falling,
Ooh-the rain is falling,
I said, ooh-the rain is falling,
Will it wash away the lonely tears,

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

Chorus

Ooh-the rain is falling,
I said, ooh-the rain is falling,
Ooh-the rain is falling, oh yeah,
Will it wash away the lonely tears,

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