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.
