Verse 1:
--------
Hello. Can you hear me?
Am I getting through to you?
Well hello. Is it late there? There's laughter on the line
Are you sure you're there alone?
'Cause I'm ... I'm trying to explain something's wrong,
you just don't sound the same. Why don't you, why don't you,
go outside, go outside?
Chorus 1:
---------
Kiss the rain, whenever you need me,
Kiss the rain, whenever I'm gone too long.
If your lips feel hungry and thirsty, kiss the rain
and wait for the dawn.
Keep in mind we're under the same sky, and the nights
as empty for me as for you.
If you feel you can't wait 'til morning,
kiss the rain, kiss the rain.
Verse 2:
--------
Kiss the rain..... Kiss the rain, kiss the rain.
Well hello, do you miss me? I hear you say you do,
but not the way I'm missing you, so what's new?
How's the weather? Is it stormy where you are?
'Cause I'm so close but it feels like you're so far.
Oh it wouldn't mean anything,
if you knew what I'm left imagining,
in my mind, in my mind, would you go, would you go?
Bridge:
-------
Kiss the rain.... Kiss the rain.
As you fall over me, think of me, think of me,
think of me, only me.
