THE FALLING RAIN

THE FALLING RAIN

WRITTEN BY J.R HILTON

2018

WATCHING THE RAIN FALL

WASHING THE SUN AWAY

GOLDEN FIELDS TURNING BROWN

THE LEAVES ARE FALLING

DANCING WITH THE WIND

SUNDOWN PUSHES BACK ON THE DAY

THE NIGHT TRIES TO CLIMB INSIDE

SUMMERS OVER CUT AND DRIED

LIKE FLOWERS HANGING

UPSIDE DOWN FROM THE RAFTERS

THE GEESE MOVE DOWN

FROM NORTHERN LATITUDES 

FILL THE SKIES FLYING SOUTH

IN THE FOREST A COMBINED HUSH

THE FALLING RAIN BRINGS ME

BACK TO THIS PLACE

IMAGINED OR REAL

ITS HARD NOT TO FEEL

A LITTLE SAD

FADED WORDS OF LOVE IN THE SAND

SHE TOOK ME BY THE HAND

AND LOOKED INTO MY EYES

FEEL IT COMING LIKE THE FALL

THE WINTER THE SNOW

I KNEW YOU'D HAVE TO GO

AFTER EACH HOUR,EACH MINUTE

ALL WITH YOU IN IT

I CAN'T FORGET YOU WHEN YOU LEAVE

I WANTED TO BE SOMEONE

YOU COULDN'T DO WITHOUT

SOMEONE YOU NEED

THOUGHT MAYBE YOU WOULD STAY

HOPED YOU COULDN'T

 DRAG YOURSELF AWAY

BUT LIKE THE SUMMER PASSING

YOU'LL SOON BE GONE

SOMEWHERE ELSE YOU'VE GOT TO BE

YOU'RE QUITTING ME

I TOOK YOU TO THE STATION

IS THAT A TEAR IN YOUR EYE

I KNOW I'VE GOT SOME IN MINE

SAW YOU IN THE WINDOW

AS THE TRAIN WAS PULLING OUT

LEFT MY HEART IN DOUBT

I HOPE YOU MAKE IT BACK THIS WAY

WHEN YOU'RE DONE

TIRED OF CITY LIGHTS

SETTLE DOWN BE A GOOD GIRL

FIND YOUR WAY BACK INTO MY HEART

INSIDE MY SUMMER DAYS

RIDING SIDE BY SIDE

TWO LOVERS IN THE FALLING SUNS GLOW

HEY,YA NEVER KNOW

MAYBE WE'LL GET TO TRY

WATCHING THE RAIN FALL

WASHING THE SUN AWAY

COME BACK AND STAY

WHEN THE SUNDOWN

 PUSHES BACK ON THE DAY
