There's a child who never sleeps in my old town
She looks around her with empty eyes that never cry
Her mother never holds her like the wind does
And her father never loved her like the rain does

Like the rain does
Like the rain does
Like the rain does
Like the rain does

Her legs run through mountains at the dusk
And the grass knows exactly her body when she lies and falls asleep
And when she lies and falls sleep
The clouds won't go away
They stay staring at her clothes

Like the rain does
Like the rain does
Like the rain does
(Like the rain does)

(Like the rain does)

I never had
The wonderful opportunity to meet her
But her smile was always telling me that we already know each other
Like the rain does

Like the rain does
Like the rain does
(Like the rain does)

I never saw her again since I left town
Somebody's told me that she finally got wings and flies

Like wind does
Like wind does
Like wind does
Like wind does
