—
When I still cared and you did not,
Our loving past a fading dot,
I thought I’d die from all the pain.
With all now lost and naught to gain,
………..My heart cried tears.
Chorus:
They fell like raindrops from the sky;
They flowed like rivers rushing by,
And in their ocean I will die.
My heart still filled my veins with blood
But wet my cheeks with teary flood
For you were so much part of me
That parting was a surgery
………..My heart cried tears.
Chorus:
They fell like raindrops from the sky;
They flowed like rivers rushing by,
And in their ocean I will die.
The years we had were swept away
Without another single day
And I was empty as a net
That’s ripped to shreds by raw regret –
………..My heart cried tears.
Chorus:
They fell like raindrops from the sky;
They flowed like rivers rushing by,
And in their ocean I will die.
You never understood my pain;
You never asked that I explain.
You simply turned your back on me
And left me to my misery –
………..My heart cried tears.
Chorus:
They fell like raindrops from the sky;
They flowed like rivers rushing by,
And in their ocean I will die.
My heart still fills and pumps my blood,
But from my eyes pours forth its flood
Our love is like the rose that’s dry,
Is crushed, released to wind to fly.
………..My heart cries tears.
Chorus:
They fell like raindrops from the sky;
They flowed like rivers rushing by,
And in their ocean I will die.
