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 falling of the rain

No, he didn't hear the falling of the rain

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

As she walked all about the wooded glades

She was glad when the rain came falling on her face

And she sang, 'cause she didn't mind the falling of the rain

No, she didn't mind the falling 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 lying next to me, ah

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

With his eyes on the ground, his head is bowed

He's a fool and his mind is filled with hopeless dreams

And he waits, but he will not see the falling of the rain

No, he will not see the falling 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 lying next to me, ah

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 falling of the rain

Can't stop the falling of the rain
