I Can't Stop the Rain
Kiss (1978) Lyrics

Night falls on the city
As darkness envelops the city, I'm left feeling isolated and disconnected from the rest of the world.

Finds me all alone
Alone in the night, I find myself questioning whether or not I should continue on this path of loneliness.

Makes me wonder
This sense of loneliness causes me to question my current situation and whether I'm truly happy with it.

Should I just go on home
As I ponder my predicament, I wonder if going home would bring me any relief or if I would still feel just as empty.

And I walk up the stairs
In an attempt to distract myself, I climb a staircase, hoping to find some sense of reassurance or comfort.

To see if you're still there
As I reach the top of the stairs, I search for a familiar face, someone who could offer me solace from my loneliness.

Would you mind if
I wonder if you would be bothered if I came to find you, as if your company would somehow alleviate the ache in my heart.

I found you alone
If I were to find you, I hope it would be just the two of us, without any distractions or interruptions to our time together.

Then a cold wind came callin'
Suddenly, without warning, a chill cuts through the air, as if a sign that something was about to change.

Strange how it knew it'd bother me
The fact that the wind seems to seek me out feels ominous and foreboding, as if it's a premonition of things to come.

See the night would fade
Despite my hopes that the darkness of night would offer some respite, the dawn would soon bring with it a return to reality.

But the pain's gonna stay
Unfortunately, no matter how the night ends, the emotional pain I feel is still going to be present in my life.

Makes me wonder
This persistent pain triggers another round of self-reflection, where I question the meaning of my life and the choices I've made.

Have you ever made love to me
As I reflect on our past, I can't help but wonder if the moments we shared were purely physical or if we were ever truly in love.

I can't stop the rain, here it comes again
No matter how much I want to avoid the pain and discomfort, it keeps coming back, as persistent as the rain.

Lightnin' strikes across the sky
As if adding insult to injury, flashes of lightning illuminate the sky, a symbol of the chaos and uncertainty of my situation.

Oh, I can't stop the rain, here it comes again
Despite my wishes, the rain keeps coming, a reminder that I am powerless in the face of these overwhelming emotions.

Lightnin' only blinds my eyes
Even if there are moments of clarity or peace, flashes of lightning serve as a harsh reminder of the emotional storm that rages on inside me.

Ain't it sad
It's a lament for the loss of something cherished or meaningful, a reminiscence of the love that once was.

When the only love I ever had
The heartache comes from knowing that the love we once shared is now long gone and I'm left to pick up the pieces, alone.

Just slips away
It's as if the love we shared was never strong enough to withstand the pressures of life, disappearing as easily as sand running through fingers.

Right through my fingers
I couldn't hold on to what we had, no matter how much I wanted to, as if it was always destined to slip away from me.

Ain't it a shame when I think of your name
The memory of your name carries with it a sense of regret and sadness, a reminder of what could have been but was never meant to be.

The only memory I have is it
All that remains of our love is the memory of it, a bittersweet reminder of a time that can never be reclaimed.

It takes a witch to curse that goddamn sky
It feels as if the heavens themselves are conspiring against me, with only a witch's curse strong enough to banish the dark clouds.

Can't stop it, blinds my eyes
The emotional storms I'm facing seem out of my control, with even flashes of lightning blinding me from seeing a clear path through them.
