Ovadia - The Rain Falls lyrics

[Verse I] What if I'm so tired that I can't go on? What if I can't get out of bed because my life is gone? What if as I write this song, my soul's already moved on? I'm not strong And I can see heaven waiting: the lights is on And it's been a long, long, long time Since I felt like these rhymes Reached any farther than my mind But do they reach to heaven yet? Can I say they heaven sent? Has heaven bent to free heart, mind, and soul? But thoughtless words never to heaven go So maybe this is just my way of letting go Maybe I'll never know . So I lay here waiting. For what? Something other than the cut Of that alarm clock "Get up! Get up!" But I don't want to, so I duck under the covers And hope that it'll go away Away, away, get away! And I pray that God takes me away [Chorus] Is this what life's like? I'd like to know; Why am I heart broke, if I'm alone? Everything I've ever had isn't enough! So why can't I just let it go? I wanna let this go I wanna let this go I wanna let this go [Verse II] Sitting on the bus with my head down Hoping that the driver forgets to stop Maybe if he just keeps driving around I'll wake up and find myself on the road to the top But the "drip-drop" of the rain Is a "tick-tock" to my brain As I feel my life slipping away And I strain to hear the refrain Of angels singing of another day coming But all I feel is pain, is that why I've stopped running? What's left to gain? What's left that's good? Why bother playin'? If all I would have is beyond my grasp And all I could have is in my hands? I know I shouldn't say it, but I wanna give up I can't sit up, and get up, and live up I'm quittin' I know it's my fault and my life that I'm missin' But this is the end, I give in to this indolence [Chorus] [Verse III] But, oh my soul cries out for more! And I can't get away from the pain, I fall to the floor Now I'm on my knees And I'm begging you please, don't leave me here! Please don't leave me with these fears Don't leave me with these tears . . . And the rain falls! And the rain falls! I swear I hear my heart breaking And I know my soul is forsaken! And the rain falls! And the rain falls!
