Catch 22 – Sick And Sad Lyrics 17 years ago
Also, I don't think the song is about a girl. 'She', and 'her' are very arbitrary and could be a metaphor for a lot of things.

Catch 22 – Sick And Sad Lyrics 17 years ago
"and there was someone there
who mentioned that they hoped that it would rain forever, forever,
so they could drown in peace."

This part, right at the beginning of the song, actually comes from the book Catch-22
Basically all of chapter 12 has to do with whether or not it will ever stop raining.

"Their only hope was that it would never stop raining, and they had no hope because they all knew it would."

"I hope it never stops raining"

"Come on--help me get them out of there before they all die of pneumonia."
"You know, that don't sound like such a bad idea," (Drown in peace)

"Suppose it stops raining and we have to fly to Bologna tomorrow. You'll be in fine physical condition.
"It won't ever gonna stop raining. No, sir, a rain like this really might go on forever."
"It has stopped raining!" someone said.
