Easy As The Rain
The Little Willies Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It was hard to say goodnight
Standing at the station, tossing it all around
Easy as the rain came down
Both of us were used to losing
Guess we had some tales to tell
Suddenly they seemed amusing, till it came
When the train pulled in
I knew right then
You weren't going anywhere
And when the train pulled out
There was no doubt
Left in our minds
That was many years ago dear
Though they haven't all been kind
They take on a certain glow when I hear the sound
Rain falling on the ground
Easy as the rain came down
Lost in the conversation
It was hard to say goodnight
Standing at the station, tossing it all around
Easy as the rain came down
Easy as the rain came down
The Little Willies's song, Easy As The Rain tells a story of a person who is lost in a conversation with their significant other, finding it hard to bid them goodbye. They are at a station, probably taking a last look at each other before they go their separate ways. However, the rain started pouring down, and it came easy, just like their love faded away. Even though both of them were accustomed to losing, they managed to see the humor in their parting, until the rain came.
The lyricist hints at the fact that both of them had stories of loss to tell, as they had probably faced heartbreaks before. However, when the train arrived, the singer realized that their significant other wasn't going anywhere. Even though their relationship may not have been the simplest or the easiest, the singer cherishes the memories whenever they hear the sound of the rain falling on the ground. This is a testament to the fact that even though relationships may not last, the memories associated with them stay forever.

Lost in the conversation
We were too deep in conversation to realize what was happening
It was hard to say goodnight
Leaving each other was difficult for both of us
Standing at the station, tossing it all around
We were uncertain about our future together while waiting at the station
Easy as the rain came down
Our separation became effortless, like the rain falling from the sky
Both of us were used to losing
We were no strangers to heartbreak and disappointment
Guess we had some tales to tell
Our past experiences gave us stories to share with each other
Suddenly they seemed amusing, till it came
Our past experiences became funny until the reality of our separation set in
When the train pulled in
The arrival of the train signaled the end of our time together
I knew right then
I realized at that moment
You weren't going anywhere
I knew you would stay where you were
And when the train pulled out
The departure of the train solidified our separation
There was no doubt
We had no reservations or hesitations
Left in our minds
Our thoughts and feelings were certain
That was many years ago dear
It has been a long time since that moment
Though they haven't all been kind
The years since then have not always been easy
They take on a certain glow when I hear the sound
Our memories become more beautiful when I hear the sound of rain
Rain falling on the ground
The rain reminds me of that moment at the station
Easy as the rain came down
The separation was as effortless as the rain falling from the sky
Lost in the conversation
We were too deep in conversation to realize what was happening
It was hard to say goodnight
Leaving each other was difficult for both of us
Standing at the station, tossing it all around
We were uncertain about our future together while waiting at the station
Easy as the rain came down
Our separation became effortless, like the rain falling from the sky
