Billy Joel Falling Of The Rain Lyrics

Falling 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.
