歌词：Eleanor Mcevoy. Portrait Of A Songwriter. The Rain Falls Down.

The rain falls, the rain falls down
The rain falls, the rain falls down
The rain falls, the rain falls down
The rain falls, the rain falls down on me

Well I gotta get up
but I can't get my head out of bed 'cause I went to bed late
So I drag myself out
and I wonder about how I let myself get in this state
And my coffee's run out
and the milk has gone off and the last piece of bread has gone stale
And I hear myself curse,
when the heating won't work 'cause I didn't pay the bill right away

The cold air is chilling me
and my head is killing me and I've only got myself to blame
I swear that in future I'll be more together
I see my computer, so I go to check my mail
It takes me a while,
but eventually I get on line, and when I finally do
I open up my messages
the second one's from you....... then

The rain falls, the rain falls down
The rain falls, the rain falls down
The rain falls, the rain falls down
The rain falls, the rain falls down on me

So you're breaking it off
and you didn't think it could be said to me straight to my face
And those rumours were true,
you've got somebody new, you've been taking her out in my place
And now you want rid of me
you've gotta be kidding me, don't you think I want rid of you?
And No you cannot be my friend
My friends they come through..........when

The rain falls, the rain falls down
The rain falls, the rain falls down
The rain falls, the rain falls down
The rain falls, the rain falls down on me

Well I click on your mail
and I drag it away to the trash and I gather my strength
I delete your address
all along with the rest of the messages you ever sent
'Cause I will find someone new
someone who'll love me too, cherish me to have and to hold
And you will be the one we'll see
Out there in the cold.........when

The rain falls, the rain falls down
The rain falls, the rain falls down
The rain falls, the rain falls down
The rain falls, the rain falls down .......... (ad lib) ..........on me
