October Rain

The rain pulls me awake on this warm autumn morning

The melancholy sky of gray comforts like a cave

You didn't stay last night, maybe that's the right thing

Letting go is truly for the brave

I tried so many times to pick up the pieces

Of this broken moon that we left hanging in the sky

I have no illusions, only disappointments

There's only so much you can do, for it's time to say goodbye

Say goodbye

October rain, the bitter-knowing change

So let's make love before the snow falls from the sky

We both saw the sunrise and we both felt the pain

So now let it wash away, October rain

Ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh

Ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh

As this cold wind blows us through the narrow winter

The broken leaves of all we hoped for fallen to the ground

I hope you will remember the beauty of the summer

When I found you in the garden with your brown hair hanging down

Sometimes love is wary and slips between the shadows

It hides within the dark, it's like a moon upon the wane

But you still found the way through the tangled weeds and brambles

And I will always think of you in the autumn when it rains

When it rains

October rain, the bitter-knowing change

So let's make love before the snow falls from the sky

We both saw the sunrise and we both felt the pain

Now let it wash away, October rain

We both saw the sunrise and we both felt the pain

Now let it wash away, October rain

Ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh

Ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh

Ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh

Ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
