BILLY JOEL lyrics : "Falling of the Rain"

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, but he did not hear the falling of the rain.
Ah, no e didn't hear the falling of the rain.


In the forest green lives a girl who puts her hair in braids
and she sang as she walked all about the wooded glades.
She was glad when the rain came falling on her face

and she sang 'cause she did not mind the falling of the rain.
Ah, no she did not mind the falling 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 lying next to me, ah.

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 falling of the rain.

Ah, no he will not see the falling 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 lying next to me, ah.


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 falling of the rain.
Ah, no you can't stop the falling of the rain.
