Joel, Billy - Falling Of The Rain Lyrics
Once upon a time in the land of misty satin dreams there stood a house
And a man who painted nature scenes
He painted trees
And fields and animals and streams
And he stayed and he didn't hear the falling of the rain
In the forest green lived a girl who put her hair in braids and she sang
As she walked all about the wooded glades
She was glad when the rain came falling on her face
And she sang, 'cause she didn't mind the falling of the rain
No, she didn't mind the falling of the rain
Will it always be the same as we recall?
Does it touch you when the rain begins to fall?
Ah, but I don't want to know and I don't want to see
High upon a hill far away from the dusty crowd is a boy
With his eyes on the ground, his head is bowed
He's a fool and his mind is filled with hopeless dreams
And he waits, but he will not see the falling of the rain
No, he will not see the falling of the rain
Will it always be the same as we recall?
Does it touch you when the rain begins to fall?
Ah, but I don't want to know and I don't want to see
Another rainy day without you lying next to me, ah
So now the boy becomes the man who sits and paints all day
But the girl with the braids in her hair has gone away
And it seems that time has brought things to an end
Nothing's changed, 'cause you can't stop the falling of the rain
Can't stop the falling of the rain

Joel, Billy Falling Of The Rain Comments
One of my personal faves!
An underrated classic
Beautiful song. This is actually one of my favorite albums of his.
great song please check out my Essential Classic Rock Vinyl Records
and many more videos on our channel
Sad But Beautiful
Just Gorgeous 🌹
The girl who put her hair in braids was my girl. And she left me.
Damn I love this album, its genius
Yknow. It just dawned on me. I never went to any of his concerts, but I was wondering how the "I wanna BJ" fan signs never came to pass at Billy Joel concerts in the hey day.
Best BJ song. Ever.
What a Superb Performance
I've always felt that while many of Billy's albums could be transcribed to Broadway stage, this one Cold Spring Harbour in particular could really lend itself to a stage play based solely off the album's incredible narrative.
Billy did have a show on Broadway for a while called Movin Out. Won him a few Tonys
Beautiful ballad
A shame that artie Rip (off) recorded at wrong speed, forcing Billy to hide in exile
Great CD. I have the album that was recorded too fast. I also have the adjusted version on CD.
More like its raining piano
how are there less than 300 views, this song is easily as good as piano man
Eragophic1 49k as of now
It's 65k now
I think it’s better. The composition is more complex and the lyrics are more poetic.
I think 7 people accidentally hit dislikes
EpixXX Studios yeah, they must be insane! That's one of the most beautiful and most touching songs I know.
EpixXX Studios They didn’t hear the falling of the rain
**ESE SENTIDO ARMONICO DE SUS CANCIONES ME FASCINA...BILLY ES UN GRAN COMPOSITOR**
Ogni canzone di Billy un gioiello ... Che talento ... Ha il dono di rendere piacevole qualsiasi genere di musica componga e rappresenti ... Genio !!!!
Beautiful!
I don't want to know and I don't want to see
This reminds of Billy Joel walking around in the rain with his girlfriend.
This man is an absolute genius.
my favourite singer/songwriter for the last 35 yrs and counting :-D
Thanks for sharing. Not a music video.
Love the piano in this, great song!
