There's an empty front porch rocking chair
And a rusty old tin roof
A lonely silence fills the air, but I can still feel you
Cars and trucks all slow down just to stare at me
I'll smile and wave because I know they don't see
This whole town must think I'm crazy

'Cause I can feel you all on my skin
But to them, it's only the wind
And I can feel the warmth of your touch
But to them it's just another noon day sun
I know how bad you want to be here now
When I look up and see those tear drops coming down
I look around and think "what a shame
They think it's just the rain"

I can hear you whisper when the leaves fall to the ground
I can see you smiling through a rainbow in the clouds
How someone could be so close and still so far away
Guess they'll never understand and I just can't explain

Yeah I know it sounds insane

But I can feel you all on my skin
But to them, it's only the wind
And I can feel the warmth of your touch
But to them it's just another noon day sun
I know how bad you want to be here now
When I look up and those tear drops coming down
I look around and think "what a shame
They think it's just the rain"

I swear it's almost like you never went anywhere

I know how bad you want to be here now
When I look up and see those tear drops falling down
I still look around, think "what a shame
They think it's just the rain"
