That the small rain down can rain

Il pleure dans mon coeur
Comme il pleut sur la ville
always as
Il pleut dans les rues
Comme il pleut dans mon coeur
With no one crying at all, just a gentle melancholy and nostalgia. Why is rain associated with those two emotions? Even in Ono no Komachi's Nagame seshi ma ni, all resignwd mono no aware. Sun is a sign of happiness, thunder a sign of passion, rain a sign of melancholy, but the emotions aren't inherent in the phenomena at all.
