The sound of the rain hitting the window
Brings me back to the times on your car
The car made from cardboard parked next to a pear tree
From home not even far
//
A bottle of coke in the backseat
The heating turned up as far as it goes
The memory - bittersweet
I wished we'd never stop

The nostalgia makes me sad
I often tear up
Remembering happy days
Of that fall in my childhood
//
The joy you brought me
With nothing to do
Just being next to me
In that fall of my childhood

Chorus:
The raindrops drum a rhythm
So familiar yet so sad
My tears drum along
On top of my notepad

We used to watch the water
As it ran down the glass
Racing all the falling leaves of the pear tree
And bet which one would win
//
You often chose the water
And then you would just grin
Being the best father
You'd often let me win

I think of you
On those rainy days
How happy we were
In that fall of my childhood

Chorus:
The raindrops drum a rhythm
So familiar yet so sad
My tears drum along
On top of my notepad
