Story Behind The Song
This is the first song I wrote after my fiance passed away. I picked up his guitar, figured out some chords and, playing to the rhythm of the rain on the tin roof of the porch outside my room, wrote my pain into song.

Lyrics
The rain keeps falling down
I don't know where I am
Going
In this downpour
And I hear you call my name
You tell me take my hand
And I will lead you
To a haven that I've found
...I decline
Oh can't you see?
It's this rain that's healing me
If I could only leave my mind
I'd be free
So the rain keeps falling down
And I don't know where I am
Going
It's this downpour
Hides the light you try to show me
And I hear you call my name
Hear the flicker of a flame
You say will warm me
In this cold winter rain
...I refrain
Oh can't you see?
It's this rain that's healing me
If I could only leave my mind
I'd be free
From this downpour
From my pain
Don't stop the rain
