Just like a memory the sun fades away
Remembering the warmth of a much brighter day
Alone I've been wondering, how long has it been?
The ash of the red sky has fallen again
I've lost track of time passed and wept through the years
But still I can feel you, the cause of my tears
If somehow you're listening, I'll go back to find
The clear, brightest sun, and a home to call mine

But why do I think of you whenever it rains?
When the sky starts to wash away all these stains
I'm sorry it's been so long since everything changed
Why do I hear you in all of my dreams?
The storm clouds keep pushing my heart to extremes
So when will the thunder cry out your name?
I feel you around me, whenever it rains

When in the darkness, I think of your light
And the words you said in our desperate nights
Here comes the lightning, to keep you in mind
Bridging all the space left between you and I
I stand in the river to wash me away
Flooded with the memories of the midnight rain
To tell you I'm sorry I'd walk through the flames
Instead I'm afraid of forgetting your name

But why do I think of you whenever it rains?
When the sky starts to wash away all these stains
I'm sorry it's been so long since everything changed
Why do I hear you in all of my dreams?
The storm clouds keep pushing my heart to extremes
So when will the thunder cry out your name?
I feel you around me, whenever it rains

Words that I held as true
Time will erase
And yet I still think of you
To feel my heart break
The pain is still worth it for all of the love remembered
Goodness you found in me
Washes away
Hope in disparity
Fades now to grey
From all of the storm clouds concealing the light we treasured

And yet I still think of you (yet I still think of you)
With everything falling through (everything falling through)
And yet I still think of you (yet I still think)
In rivers of endless blue (endless blue)
Alone here I think of you (alone here I think of you)
And our world was turned askew (and our world was turned askew)
In darkness I think of you (in darkness I think of you)
Whenever it rains (whenever it rains)

But why do I think of you whenever it rains?
When the sky starts to wash away all these stains
I'm sorry it's been so long since everything changed
Why do I hear you in all of my dreams?
The storm clouds keep pushing my heart to extremes
So when will the thunder cry out your name?
I feel you around me, whenever it rains

And yet I still think of you
With everything falling through
And yet I still think of you
Whenever it rains
