Rain falls on the lonely.
But it's only a cloud in the sky.
Rain falls on the lonely.
But it's only a tear in your eye.

See the face upon the wall.
It's hanging there for all to see.
A man who found a hole to dig again.
There is nothing new about him.
He's seen it all around him.
And the man you see is very used to rain.

Rain falls on the lonely.
But it's only a cloud in the sky.
Rain falls on the lonely.
But it's only a tear in your eye.

So you ask me why I cry.
Do I need a shoulder I can lean on?
Do I need to find a friend today?
Though it's nice of you to see me.
I know the night'll free me.
Tomorrow I won't even know her name.

Rain falls on the lonely.
But it's only a cloud in the sky.
Rain falls on the lonely.
But it's only a tear in your eye......
