Lyric

Your coat hung by the door

Drip by drip on the floor

A secret in my sleeve

Too small for words to keep

The window wore your name

In streams that bent like flame

I stood and watched it go

Down every pane I know

If I say it out loud

It breaks the hush between us

So I let the night lean in

And hold it where you left it

Only the rain knows

Only the rain knows

It falls, and it remembers

Only the rain knows

Only the rain knows

Only the rain knows

What I could never say

Only the rain knows

Your last train far away

Still crosses through my day

But every silver sheet

Brings back your quiet feet

If I say it out loud

It turns to mist and vanishes

So I let the dark take care

Of all the things we vanished with

Only the rain knows

Only the rain knows

It falls, and it remembers

Only the rain knows

Only the rain knows

Only the rain knows

What I could never say

Only the rain knows

Let the gutters sing low

Let the old ghosts glow

I loved you in the pause

In the space between the drops

Only the rain knows

Only the rain knows

It falls, and it remembers

Only the rain knows

Only the rain knows

Only the rain knows

What I could never say

Only the rain knows
