The phone rings down the hall
A heart stops beating
We all know what it is
But nothing stops us from retreating

A hand grasps the phone
And a voice calls out
Although we all linger
We know what it’s about

And there’s a slight chance of rain today
There’s nothing we can do, and there’s nothing we can say
As the world is shadowed in grey
It rains today

A soldier’s mother or a patient’s father
They’re all the same
Falling to the floor, or slamming a door
It’s such a shame

We don’t value life
Until it is lost
Then we can grasp it
But at what cost

And there’s a slight chance of rain today
There’s nothing we can do, and there’s nothing we can say
As the world is shadowed in grey
It rains today

We try
We try and we try
To erase all the pain
We cry
We cry and we cry
And that brings the rain


And there’s a slight chance of rain today
There’s nothing to do, there’s nothing to say
As the world is shadowed in grey
Oh, the rain will take it away


Oh

And there’s a slight chance of rain today
There’s nothing we can do, and there’s nothing we can say
As the world is shadowed in grey
Oh, as the world is shadowed in grey
It rains today
