ACID RAIN

The times we spent together are over now
I'm moving on to a better life,
Freed from bands that used to tie me down
Your crying won't bring me back,
Although you look so saintly with those tears of yours
I won't be fooled again, I hear that sound of burning 
And the burning hurts

Chorus:
Acid rain pours from your eyes--
My mind burns with your cries
I run away to a different place,
But I still hear that haunting acid rain

Acid rain is what I call it, 
'Cause acid burns and your crying yearns
For a past that you once had,
But now it's gone, it's gone and won't come back
Your crying won't bring me back,
Although you look so saintly with those tears of yours
I won't be fooled again, I hear that sound of burning 
And the burning hurts

(Chorus)

Acid rain--It burns through your smooth skin
And once again I cringe
To see you cry for me
Why do you cry in vain?
