So you say you've written letters And you've mailed them to yourself And through the politics of compromise You've left them lying upon your shelf At the risk of seeming crazy I've set off to find your cure With apologies for knowing It's a difficult time of year
And the shadows you leave behind you Are like the rain that's crashing down When there's no one left around I'll be the rain that's crashing Rain that's crashing down
So you say we're going nowhere With the fear of wasting youth Through the different times and with different eyes I see it every change in you And now we've reached the point of knowing That in love we're never sure Still I'm holding on tight to memories And there you go walking out the door
And the shadows you leave behind you Are like the rain that's falling down And your halo was left in town And still the rain comes crashing down And the sadness you leave behind you Like shadows across the ground When there's no one left around I'll be the rain that's crashing Rain that's crashing down (repeat)
