The following words are from the original Ordinary Rain

She’s lonely and she can’t remember when

She didn’t feel alone

And in her natural state of darkness

With people or at home

He comes home in the evening

Return note that tells it all

She said “I couldn’t stand another day

Of this rain that’s got to fall”

Just an ordinary rain

Ordinary Rain

Who would of thought such a drowning flood

In an ordinary rain

Ordinary rain

To some it is a blessing

But what I’ve come to know

Is the same rain that drowns one world

Helps another to grow

Ordinary Rain
