Why does it always rain on me?
On my hopes and on my fears
Is it because despite the joy
It always ends in tears?

Why does it rain on me alone?
When others find the sun
Have I in someway to atone
For things that were best not done?

Why does it rain so heavily?
Storm clouds blot out the sun
When all I asked for was simply love
We two to be as one

Why does the rain now never cease?
The sky now black with cloud
When all I asked was to be with you
Too much to be allowed?

Why does the rain relentless fall
Its drum beat on the ground
It signifies the death of love
An aching empty sound
