lyrics

Do you believe in your innocence, could you stand a trial
And do you think that your words ring true from behind your smile
As you walk to the top of the stairs, do you like your portrait there
Have you covered all your mirrors with a cloth and a veil of tears
That cloak your youth in vain from years

Listen to the rain falling
Listen to the rain . . . fall . . . down

One today for that empty feeling, one tonight for your sleep
One again for the breakfast table, and one again for me
Which face will you learn to wear when you sit in your broken chair
Which man will you be today, what words have you learned to say
To calm you when you're all alone

Listen to the rain falling
Listen to the rain . . . fall . . . down

I caught you watching from the corner of your eye
I saw you planning my breakdown, but I couldnt reason why
But though your frail inventions seemed to lack a certain style
You caught me off guard, and I turned to you and smiled
I said, Listen to the rain fall
Listen to the rain fall down

Do you think that your innocence is a face to wear
Do you believe in your broken logic, or do you even care
Have you found an alibi to clear your name as you watch the fire
One that keeps our tongues all tied, how many ways can you learn denial
Before you start your breakdown

Listen to the rain falling
Listen to the rain . . . fall . . . down
