RHYTHM OF THE RAIN

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.

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.

Rain please tell me know does that seem fair
For her to steal my heart away when she don't care
