Early in the morning The Sun was up and the sky was very blue Without a warning As I looked out, my thoughts returned to you A noise in the city made the children run And hide themselves away And thunder boomed and lightning filled the sky Looking from this window A thousand rivers running past my door Standing on an island, looking for someone Upon the shore I can see it very clearly nothing's really changed Then lightning strikes across an empty sky Chorus Ooh-the rain is falling Ooh-the rain is falling Ooh-the rain is falling Will it wash away those lonely tears With their brand new time transporter They'll think maybe I fought to get away But with all their great inventions And all their good intentions here I stay Down on the corner where the Sun had shone The people gathered 'round Then scattered as the raindrops hit the ground Chorus
