rainy day in centerville

sitting all alone i hear the tapping of the rain

dance ballerina dance

talking with the rain in some small city i feel the pain

she's dancing all alone

thinking how we'd wait together

sitting by the fire in weather just like this

playing lovers' games; hoping the rain would never end

and i thought about the night we met

how the gentle rain fell down

kissed the ground

then i knew no one ever could take your place

sitting all alone i hear the tapping of the rain

dance ballerina dance

talking with the rain in some small city i feel the pain

she's dancing all alone

nothing seems the same but the falling rain

you've gone away

walking by the sea; sitting beneath a tree

you are not here

and i thought about the night we met

how the gentle rain fell down

kissed the ground

then i knew no one ever could take your place
