Just the Rain

There’s an empty front porch rocking chair, and a rusty old tin roof
A lonely silence fills the air, but I can still feel you
Cars and trucks all slow down just to stare at me
I’ll smile and wave because I know they don’t see
This whole town must think I’m crazy
'Cause I can feel you all on my skin
But to them, it’s only the wind
And I can feel the warmth of your touch
But to them it’s just another noon day sun
I know how bad you wanna be here now
When I look up and see those tear drops coming down
I look around and think «What a shame, they think it’s just the rain»
I can hear you whisper when the leaves fall to the ground
I can see you smiling through a rainbow in the clouds
How someone could be so close and still so far away
Guess they’ll never understand and I just can’t explain
Yeah, I know it sounds insane
But I can feel you all on my skin
But to them, it’s only the wind
And I can feel the warmth of your touch
But to them it’s just another noon day sun
I know how bad you want to be here now
When I look up and see those tear drops coming down
I look around and think «What a shame, they think it’s just the rain»
I swear it’s almost like you never went anywhere
I know how bad you want to be here now
When I look up and see those tear drops falling down
I still look around, think «What a shame, they think it’s just the rain»
