Raindrops
Martin Jondo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Chorus:]
Raindrops pouring down my window
and they remind me of teardrops I shed on my pillow
I said raindrops pouring down my window
and they remind me of teardrops I shed on my pillow

That morning when I woke up it was raining
cats and dogs
the sky was covered so grew and
I knew something was wrong
but I couldn't couldn't figure it out what
depressed my little little soul, Lord
until I got that message which was freezing my blood and soul, heh
she was up, up and gone with a brother, brother
though she told she woulda never, never, never, never, never
but the time has told the truth and I'm the stupid fool who feels blue, heh

[Chorus]

The tide was high the tide was low
some nights I was lonely some nights I was in love
the seasons they oh they passed by
still I felt we're living just a dirty, dirty lie
but we kept it on that hurtful game
Lord it was a shame, a shame, a shame
'cause we were young young to see that
the things we wanted that they couldn't be and
our untouchable love now it was gone, gone, gone, gone away
you were grabbing for more and I was playing the fool again and

[Chorus]

So I shed tears and tears and tears
and they passed by the years, the years
until I heard a heavenly call
to let go evrything and just fall, fall, fall
into love with loneliness which coulda never hurt me as bad, as bad
as all the years that we've been through
darlin I am go no more I love you





[Chorus]

Line by Line Meaning

Raindrops pouring down my window
The raindrops falling down the windowpane remind me of the tears I cried while thinking about my lost love


and they remind me of teardrops I shed on my pillow
The raindrops remind me of the tears I cried when I was alone at night and thinking of my lost love


That morning when I woke up it was raining
I woke up on a rainy morning


cats and dogs
It was raining heavily


the sky was covered so grew
The sky was overcast and gloomy


and I knew something was wrong
I had a feeling that something was not right


but I couldn't couldn't figure it out what
I couldn't figure out what was wrong


depressed my little little soul, Lord
It was making me feel low and sad


until I got that message which was freezing my blood and soul, heh
Then I received a message that shocked me deeply


she was up, up and gone with a brother, brother
My love had left me for someone else


though she told she woulda never, never, never, never, never
Although she had promised never to leave me


but the time has told the truth and I'm the stupid fool who feels blue, heh
But time has shown that she was not honest and now I feel foolish for believing her


The tide was high the tide was low
There were ups and downs in our relationship


some nights I was lonely some nights I was in love
Sometimes I felt alone, and other times I was deeply in love


the seasons they oh they passed by
Time went by, and the seasons changed


still I felt we're living just a dirty, dirty lie
Yet, I knew deep down that our relationship was based on deceit and dishonesty


but we kept it on that hurtful game
We continued playing the game of love that was hurting us both


Lord it was a shame, a shame, a shame
It was a pity that we couldn't be honest and true to ourselves


'cause we were young young to see that
We were too young and naive to understand the consequences of our actions


the things we wanted that they couldn't be and
We wanted things that were not meant to be


our untouchable love now it was gone, gone, gone, gone away
Our love, which was once unbreakable, was now gone


you were grabbing for more and I was playing the fool again and
You wanted more from me, while I was foolishly playing along


So I shed tears and tears and tears
I cried and cried for a long time


and they passed by the years, the years
The years went by, but my pain and sorrow remained


until I heard a heavenly call
Until I heard a message from above


to let go evrything and just fall, fall, fall
To let go of everything and surrender to the pain


into love with loneliness which coulda never hurt me as bad, as bad
To embrace loneliness, which would hurt less than the pain of lost love


as all the years that we've been through
The pain of lost love was worse than the years I spent with my love


darlin I am go no more I love you
My love, I am leaving you and ending this relationship


Raindrops pouring down my window
The raindrops falling down the windowpane remind me of the tears I cried while thinking about my lost love


and they remind me of teardrops I shed on my pillow
The raindrops remind me of the tears I cried when I was alone at night and thinking of my lost love
