Lyrics
Verse 1
Rain falls heavy on the street,
I walk alone with aching feet.
The wind is cold, it shakes the trees,
I call your name, it floats on breeze.
Every drop reminds me of you.
Chorus
Falling rain, washing me slow,
I loved you deep, I loved you so.
Falling rain, I feel the pain,
I carry your memory in my veins.
Verse 2
Puddles mirror the city lights,
I trace the hours of lonely nights.
I try to smile, I try to breathe,
But falling rain reminds me of grief.
Every street holds your face.
Chorus
Falling rain, washing me slow,
I loved you deep, I loved you so.
Falling rain, I feel the pain,
I carry your memory in my veins.
Verse 3
Clouds roll past, the night drifts on,
I hug your memory till the dawn.
The streets are wet, the wind is raw,
I walk alone, recalling it all.
Falling rain, fade away.
Chorus / Outro
Falling rain, washing me slow,
I loved you deep, I loved you so.
Falling rain… fade tonight.
