Outside is a storm, inside is nothing Just me and my head on a pillow with no stuffing Trying to sleep, trying to rest Trying to forget about this hole in my chest But the thunder groans and the rain it hollers And the hole gets bigger and I get smaller And the hole gets bigger and starts to grow teeth And I start to give up on the idea of sleep And so I ask again, were you crying or was it just the rain The rain that rains in my bucket The rain that rains in my heart The rain that rained and kept on raining The rain that rained from the start Outside it's raging, inside it is too It beats on the door but I won't let it through My hands are full, my hands are tied My body it shakes when I think how hard I tried But the rain it crushes and mangles the tin And the rain's still trying to find a way in And up from the hole in my chest comes a head
And I can't begin to repeat what it said And so I ask again, were you crying or was it just the rain The rain that rains in my bucket The rain that rains in my heart The rain that rained and kept on raining The rain that rained from the start The rain that pours down like lemonade That starts off sweet and ends up flat The rain that rains on my parade The rain that keeps coming back The rain comes down, it doesn't stop The bucket is nearly filled to the top The drips drop in in single file And I even start to forget for a while And the head falls back and the teeth start to grin As the hole closes up and stretches my skin I go to the window I look out the pane I don't see your tears Only the rain The rain that rains in my bucket The rain that rains in my heart The rain that rained and kept on raining The rain that rained from the start (repeat)
