Rain
(Falling from the Skies)
Ring-a-Ding-Ding
River, Stay 'Way from My Door
Rain (Falling from the Skies)
Rain falling from the skies
Like lonely tears through misty eyes
Rain streaming down my face
Brings memories my heart cannot erase
Here alone in all my sorrows
Waiting for the clouds to hurry by
Praying that a new tomorrow
Will put the sun back in the sky
Rain wash away my tears
So when that sun appears
I'll see my love again
Ring-a-Ding-Ding
Life is dull
It's nothing but one big lull
Then presto you do a skull
And find that you're reeling
She sighs and you're feeling
Like a toy on a string
And your heart goes: "Ring-a-ding ding, ring-a-ding ding, ring-a-ding ding"
How could that funny face
That seemed to be common place
Project you right in to space
Without any warning
Don't know if its morning, night-time, winter or spring
What's the difference
Ring-a-ding ding, ring-a-ding ding, ring-a-ding ding
She takes (grabs) your hand - this captivating creature
And like its planned - you're in the phone book
Looking (Hunting) for the nearest preacher
Life is swell
You're off to that small hotel
And somewhere a village bell
Will sound in the steeple
Announcing to people
Love's the loveliest thing
And the bell goes: "Ring-a-ding ding, ring-a-ding ding, ring-a-ding ding"
River,
Stay 'Way from My Door
You keep goin' your way -
I'll keep goin' my way
(I'll keep goin' my way, you keep rollin' your way)
River, stay 'way from the door
I just got (me) a cabin - you don't need my
(you'll never need that) cabin
River, stay 'way from the door
Don't (you) come up any higher - I'm so all alone
Leave the bed and the fire - that is all I own
(- and you can have that phone)
I ain't breakin' your heart - don't (you) start breakin' my heart
River, stay 'way from the door
(Stay 'way, get 'way, roll 'way, stay 'way)
(You dirty, old, muddy river, you)
(River, stay 'way from the door)
