Softly falls the morning rain

Loneliness comes around again

And I sit and sing my song

'Though it never seems to matter

And it never fills the emptiness inside



Frozen notes hang suspended in the autumn air

While someone waits for someone to come somewhere

No one waits for me

'Cause I thought I wanted to be free

Now I'm wondering why I said goodbye

Looking through my window

At the dark and troubled sky

I think I see the ship of the brokenhearted passing by

And I turn away

From today

To where we used to lie

And I cry

Yes, I cry

And I cry

While softly falls the morning rain

Loneliness comes around again
