Lyrics
Darkness over my shoulder
The days have grown colder
Ever since you're not here
Sweetness, there is no sweetness
It's all incompleteness
Covering all my dreams
Let it Rain
Let it Rain
Let it Rain
Clouds form over this landscape
Hiding my mistakes
That drove you away from me
Distance was your form of resistance
Now I hope that the sun sinks
And never comes to shine on me
Let it Rain
Let it Rain
Let it Rain
When you're looking out 'your window
And you see those drops of rain
Don't you know that's how my tears fall
Since you said you'd go away?
Let it Rain
Let it Rain
Let it Rain
Every day.
