I knew I wanted love
But I did not know if I could get away with it
I thought it was a jewel that a young man stole

Ah, then you run away
How could a boy from the dusty plains
Ever find a woman like falling rain?
Under the whirling, burning sky
I mulled this around

Rambling around the dusty town
I was never going to get away
Everywhere I looked was a cowboy clown
Bull horns on a Chevrolet
Somebody gave me an old guitar
Showed me a chord and I traveled far
Over the walls of my childhood
And out in the world
All over the world

Well, you never know where the road will fall
When the voice of the wild wind calls
Don't want to wonder on the day I die
What would have been if I'd have only tried to fly
Oh boy, I hate to think I might have never dreamed the sky

I never would have thought I could build a life
With words and a melody
But something in a song just makes me right
As a crow in a cherry tree
All these years I've searched my soul
Every story and every song
Well they're all about a woman like falling rain
She's like falling rain

Well, you never know where the road will fall
When the voice of the wild wind calls
Don't want to wonder on the day I die
What would have been if I'd have only tried to fly
Oh boy, I hate to think I might have never dreamed the sky

The way the world looks from up here
Clouds tumbling on and on and on
And from the ground you look around
You see the way things are
You don't give in, you tell your friends
You say there's going to be a better day

I knew I wanted love
But I did not know if I could get away with it
I thought it was a jewel that a young man stole
Ah, then you run away
How could a boy from the dusty plains
Ever find a woman like falling rain?
Under the whirling, burning sky
I mulled this around

Well, you never know where the road will fall
When the voice of the wild wind calls
Don't want to wonder on the day I die
What would have been if I'd have only tried to fly
Oh boy, I hate to think I might have never dreamed the sky

Like falling rain, she's like falling rain
Like falling rain, she's like falling rain

Healing rain fall down
Wash away a mountain of pain
It's been so long now
Since we both got naked and wet
In a real warm rain
