I Saw The Rain
Lovers and Poets Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Led me down to the river
So we could see the setting sun
You promised love
And I could see forever
You said I was the only one
(I saw the rain)
There we stood
Looking from a mountain
How could it happen so fast
Your love was sweet
But there were storms a comin'
And then I knew it couldn't last
I saw the rain, I saw the rain
I saw the rain, I saw the rain (I saw the rain)
When I looked up I had lost my ground
You were too far ahead
I went to sleep
When I awoke this morning
You were still in my head
I saw the rain, I saw the rain
I saw the rain, I saw the rain (I saw the rain)
The fever starts I wish that we were closer
But we were destined to end
I wish we could
Run through the hills forever
And I could call you my friend
I try to stop the pain I feel inside
But I have fallen too hard
It's you I lost
But you are not forgotten
You will always have my heart
I saw the rain, I saw the rain
I saw the rain, I saw the rain (I saw the rain)
In "I Saw The Rain," Lovers and Poets sing about a love that seemed perfect at first, but ultimately couldn't withstand the storms that came their way. The song opens with the image of the couple standing by a river, watching the sun set. The lover promises eternal love and makes the singer feel like they are the only one. However, the singer's joy is short-lived as they see the rain coming, foreshadowing the tumultuous times that await them. The song then shifts to a metaphorical mountain where the singer and their lover stood and looked down upon what seemed to be a perfect love. The storm comes to the relationship, and the singer realizes that love cannot withstand everything. Even though the relationship ends, the singer still holds on to the memories of their lost love and remembers them fondly.
The song is a representation of how sometimes, love is not enough to keep a relationship going. Even though love is essential, it can't always withstand external factors like distance, time, or personality differences. It serves as a reminder that, while love is great, it doesn't guarantee a happy ending.

Guided me towards a beautiful scenery

You made a commitment to love me
And I could see forever

I realized that difficult times were ahead
There we stood
We faced the challenges that came our way
Looking from a mountain
We reflected on our experiences from a higher perspective
How could it happen so fast
Our love faded away quickly
Your love was sweet
Our love was beautiful and enjoyable
But there were storms a comin'

When I looked up I had lost my ground
I lost sight of my path because of my love for you
You were too far ahead
You were moving on without me
I went to sleep
I tried to forget you for a while
When I awoke this morning
When I woke up from dreaming about you
You were still in my head
You were still on my mind

Have endless adventures together
And I could call you my friend
And still have a meaningful relationship with you

But you will always be remembered
You will always have my heart
My love for you will never die
I saw the rain, I saw the rain
I saw the difficulties that we had to face
I saw the rain, I saw the rain
I saw the hardships that ended our love story
I saw the rain, I saw the rain
I saw the tough times that ended our beautiful moments
(I saw the rain)
I realized that our love story was not meant to last
