Electric Light Orchestra - Rain Is Falling Lyrics






(Rain rain, go away, come again another day)

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 cane see it very clearly, nothing's really changed
Then lightning strikes across an empty sky.

[CHORUS:]
Ooohh, the rain is falling
Ooohh, the rain is falling
Ooohh, the rain is falling
Will it wash away the lonely tears?

(It's raining, it's pouring, the old man is snoring)

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.

[REPEAT CHORUS]

(It's raining, it's pouring, the old man is snoring)

[REPEAT CHORUS]

(It's raining, it's pouring, the old man is snoring)
(Rain rain, go away, come again another day)

    1981, I was 14. For some reason today I had "Twilight" stuck in my head ... turns out I still remember the lyrics to every song on this album :-)

    A.... S....

    I was also 14 in 1981. Twilight was playing on the radio... all I wanted is to listen to it over and over again. And still love it. Time is timeless )) It's a masterpiece, pure magic and... so deeply underrated.

  13. D.... S....

    Since I was 15 in 1981
    And about this album
    I have listened to countless albums
    And nothing comes close to the genius of Jeff Lynne = ELO
    Time the best album of all tim as far as I'm concerned.👍🌓👩‍🚀📽🥳🛰🌟🌟🌟👨‍🚀👨‍🚀

    Early in the morning 
    The sun was up and the sky was a-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.

    Ooohh, the rain is falling 
    Ooohh, the rain is falling 
    Ooohh, 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.

    Ooohh, the rain is falling 
    Ooohh, the rain is falling 
    Ooohh, the rain is falling 
    Will it wash away those lonely tears.

    D.... ....

    @Kevin Larkin ?

    D.... ....

    Cool thanks for posting the words 😀✌️✌️✌️

    D.... ....

    Brilliant.

  55. I.... B....

    Who else sometimes hears “that’s my dong” instead of “past my door”?

  56. A.... ....

    すごい

  57. J.... M....

    ELO Jeff Lynn GREAT

  58. E.... M....

    Linda do meu coração..

  59. F.... G....

    masterpiece!!

  60. C.... I....

    Jeff could be a perfect match to be a fifth Beatle!!!.. as he dreamed I think

    C.... I....

    Jeff produced some of the Beatles songs back in the day. He was very close to George Harris as you see that in the Traveling Wilburys

    C.... I....

    But he was the 5th Beatle.

  61. C.... ....

    Simple y sencillamente magistral!!

  62. 1.... ....

    without a warning, the noise made the beauty hide its color away. with no beauty left in the world what was the rain to feed?
    ooooo the rain is falling

  63. E.... T....

    Me transporta a mis 14 años...
    Dioses,como se nos va la vida...
    Como arena entre las manos,y sin darnos cuenta.

  64. b.... ....

    E.L.O.     Fantastic

  65. B.... C....

    absolutely great!!! i can still remember my times at the university. a disc jockey played this music at a square nearby. my favourite is the whole album. but i relate "From the end of the world" with the book i was reading at that time for the university The Time Machine. it was a magic combination.

  67. c.... y....

    Absolutely love this..... had a dream a few days after a family member passed away and this was playing in my dream..... special place in my heart :)

    c.... y....

    cathy yates on the last day of school, it was non uniform day and when I was walking to school, it was raining and this song was playing in my mind.

  75. P.... K....

    Mój nauczyciel angielskiego puścił nam tą piosenkę. Powtarzał, że ta piosenka może być interpretowana różnie. A ja chyba właśnie znalazłem moją interpretację :)

    P.... K....

    are you from union soviet ?

    P.... K....

    +LF Gamer I am from Poland and that country used to "belong" to Soviet Union. But I was born in 1998, and Sovet Union broke 7 years before, so no. I was born in free Poland.

    P.... K....

    E.L.O.bylo baardzo popularne w Polsce na początku lat 80. Grali ich w trójce.

  76. A.... B....

    mmmmmmmmmmm

  77. L.... G....

    this song makes me feel in peace ...

  78. A.... D....

    Not a fan of this genera, I can still recognize the apparent quality.

    A.... D....

    Arthur Dent what?

  79. E.... ....

    So good

  80. �.... �....

    Supper!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  81. W.... W....

    what is it with Jeff Lynne and rain?

    W.... W....

    LOL....I thought of that for many years too!!

    W.... W....

    actually his "rain" songs are his best, esp. Standin in the Rain

    W.... W....

    I live in northern England and for some reason it's not raining at the moment, in fact there's this large firey ball in the sky - assumably it will soon collide with earth. Still enjoying this song though. Kinda nice way to end the world. Think I'll play 'Mr Blue Sky' next if I have time!

    W.... W....

    He came from Brum.

    W.... W....

    Rain can be scary, but also comforting. It's a force of nature and should be respected as such, but it cleanses filth and is the start of something new. Rain is amazing.

  82. L.... M....

    Mozart, Schubert, Verdi, Chopin, Jeff Lynne............................

    L.... M....

    And Johann Sebastian Bach

    L.... M....

    That's all you got xd??

    L.... M....

    I'm with you totally on that
    Your absolutely right 👍👨‍🚀🛰

    L.... M....

    Beethoven

    L.... M....

    Гениальная вещь!

  83. R.... G....
