Billy Joel Fallin` Of The Rain Lyrics

Fallin` Of The Rain Lyrics

Once upon a time in the land of misty satin dreams 

 There stood a house and a man who painted nature scenes 

 He painted trees and fields and animals and streams and he stayed

 And he didn't hear the fallin' of the rain 

 

 In the forest green lived a girl who put her hair in braids 

 And she sang as she walked all around the wooded glade

 She was glad when the rain came falling on her face and she sang

 'Cause she didn't mind the fallin' of the rain 

 

 Will it always be the same as we recall? 

 Does it touch you when the rain begins to fall? 

 Ah, but I don't want to know and I don't want to see 

 Another rainy day without you lyin' next to me 

 

 High upon a hill far away from all the dusty crowd is a boy 

 With his eyes on the ground; his head is bowed; he is a fool 

 And his mind is filled with hopeless dreams and he waits 

 But he will not see the fallin' of the rain 

 

 Will it always be the same as we recall? 

 Does it touch you when the rain begins to fall? 

 Ah, but I don't want to know and I don't want to see 

 Another rainy day without you lyin' next to me 

 

 So now the boy becomes the man who sits and paints all day 

 But the girl with the braids in her hair has gone away 

 And it seems that time has brought things to an end; nothing's changed 

 'Cause you can't stop the fallin' rain.
