Common As The Rain - David Wilcox

Night before she’s leaving, there’s suddenly a change

She slowly sits beside me and she softly calls my name

And gives me an address and she says, «Come visit soon»

And yesterday she wouldn’t notice that I was in the room

I guess she stayed awake 'cause it’s so hard for her to say

We both had built our hopes up, but the love just slipped away

She’s worried I might try to burden her with all the blame

For breaking up my heart as if she’d planned it from the start

Just 'cause that’s the way some people do

Oh, but I have been on her side of it too

So I said, «Don't feel ashamed, don’t feel guilty for the pain

Sometimes you build your hopes up and they fall back down again»

The time we had was magic and the love was not in vain

And falling down’s as common as the rain

And something about me leaves you cold

But something even you don’t know

And don’t think that it’s wrong to go, 'cause of what we had before

Just leave me with those magic times, I’d rather keep you on my mind

Then see you try to fake the feelings, trying not to be unkind

Oh now don’t feel ashamed, don’t feel guilty for the pain

Sometimes you build your hopes up and they fall back down again

The time we had was magic and the love was not in vain

And falling down’s as common as the rain

The only thing for certain is that nothing stays the same

And falling down’s as common as the rain
