Rhythm of the Rain
Jim Ed Brown and the Browns · The Three Bells [Bear Family] [1993]
Telling me just what a fool I've been.
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain.
And let me be alone again.
The only girl I care about has gone away
Looking for a brand new start.
But little does she know that when she left that day
Along with her, she took my heart.
Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain.
Telling me just what a fool I've been.
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain.
And let me be alone again.
Now rain please tell me does that seem fair.
For her to steal my heart away when she don't care
I can't love another when my heart's
Somewhere far away .
--- Instrumental ---
The only one I ever cared about has gone away
Looking for a brand new start.
But little does she know that when she left that day
Along with her she took my heart.
Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain.
Telling me just what a fool I've been.
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain.
And let me be alone again...
