it started to rain

sally jane

how did it end up this way

with our boxes packed

and not one word to say

the children play

as your car pulled away

i didn't realize 'til then

it was really goodbye

with your wheels on the gravel

i felt my heart strings unravel

as it started to rain

it started to rain

it started to rain

forty days

it started to rain

the neighbors came

and they bought what remained

of the life we built

with lovin'

with laughter

then my heart started sinking

'cause i couldn't help thinking

their fate would be the same

it started to rain

it started to rain

forty days

it started to rain

it started to rain
