Rain Falls For Wind
The Sleepy Jackson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been drinking
And I've been thinking of you
Now I know
I know the snow will let me know

I've been trying
But I've been lying to you
Now I know
I know the time will get me through

But any time I let you know
It's just a time to let me know
What it's all about

Rain falls for wind
You're only, ever on my mind
Rain falls for wind
You're only, ever on my mind

I've been drinking
And I've been thinking of you
Now I know
I know the snow will let me know

Rain falls for wind
You're only, ever on my mind
Rain falls for wind
You're only, ever on my mind

Rain falls for wind
You're only, ever on my mind
You never ever have the time
When I see you smile

Rain falls for wind
You're only ever on my mind
You never ever have the time
When I see you smile

Overall Meaning

In the song "Rain Falls for Wind" by The Sleepy Jackson, the singer is drinking and thinking about someone special, possibly a past lover. The mention of snow represents a sign or signal that will let the singer know if his feelings are returned. The singer admits to lying and trying to hide his true feelings from this person. The line "I know the time will get me through" suggests that the singer is hoping that time will heal any hurt or regret he may feel.


The chorus "Rain falls for wind, you're only ever on my mind" is a poetic metaphor referring to the idea that rain falls when the wind is blowing. Here, the wind represents the singer's thoughts and feelings, and the rain represents the object of his affections. The repetition of the line suggests that despite trying to move on, this person is still always on his mind. The final lines "You never ever have the time when I see you smile" suggest that although the singer wishes to be with this person, they are not available or interested in him.


Overall, the song is a bittersweet reflection on unrequited love and the difficulty of moving on from that person.

I've been drinking

And I've been thinking of you
You've been on my mind

The purpose of our relationship

You never ever have the time
You're always busy and unavailable


When I see you smile
Your happiness brings me joy
