Down Came the Rain
Bill Anderson · The First 10 Years: 1956-1966 [2011]
You told me that you'd love me until the end of time
But you are only human and humans change their minds
You left me without warning and the storm brought me pain
And down down down came the rain.
All your love would bring a man so much happiness
That the heavens had to send the rain to devide it up I guess
I stumble through the darkness still calling your name
And down down down came the rain.
All your love would bring a man so much happiness
That the heavens had to send the rain to devide it up I guess
I stumble through the darkness still calling your name
And down down down came the rain...
