These are not raindrops, my darling
These are real tears. No, it is not raining.
No, it's not snowing. No, it's not pouring
These tears are genuine and painful
I have been hurt since your dreadful
Departure and nothing has been wonderful.
It has been sunny, but it has been drenching
Deeply inside me. I got knocked out in the ring
Of life, since you have been gone with the wind
I'm wounded; I'm lying flat alone on the sand.
These are not raindrops, my darling
These are real tears. No, it is not raining.
