The Rain Song
When Rain Revives Memories
Lyrics
Well, I don't think about us much anymore
Expression of reduced frequency in thinking about the relationship.
And frankly the topic has become a bore
Describing the relationship as uninteresting and repetitive.
And you don't come up much in my conversations
Not discussing the person frequently in conversations.
And I don't think about you on vacation.
Indifference towards thoughts about the person during vacations.
Oh, but when it rains
Contrast between the lack of thoughts about the person and the vivid memories triggered by rain.
When it rains
-When it rains
-That's when I remember
-That's when I remember
-I remember you
-I remember you.
-Well, I don't think about you when I'm sleeping
No thoughts about the person even during sleep.
It doesn't even cross my dreamlike mind
Emphasizing the absence of thoughts in dreams.
And I don't think I see your face through the curtain
Not envisioning the person's face even through mental imagery.
Hell, I don't even miss you half the time (half the time).
Stating the infrequency of missing the person.
But when it rains
Reiteration of the strong association between rain and memories of the person.
When it rains
-When it rains
-That's when I remember
-That's when I remember
-I remember you
-Well, I remember you.
-Rain, rain, go away
Playful plea for rain to stay, emphasizing the connection between rain and memories.
I'm doin' fine as long as you stay
-Locked up inside your cloud of grey
-Rain, rain
-Rain, rain, rain (rain)
-Rain, rain
-Rain.
-'cause when it rains
Continued reflection on the impact of rain in triggering memories of the person.
Well, when it rains
-When it rains
-Well, that's when I remember
-Now that's when I remember
-And I remember you
-Yeah, I remember you.
-That's when I remember (now I remember)
Final repetition and emphasis on rain being the only time the person is vividly remembered.
The only time I remember (now I remember)
-Well, I remember you (now I remember).
