Sunshine, blue skies, please go away
My love has found another, gone away
Withered up my future, my life is filled with gloom
Day after day I stay locked up in my room
I know to you it might sound strange
But I wish it would rain

Curse so badly, I don't want to go outside
Everyone knows that a man ain't supposed to cry
Listen, I've got to cry, 'cause crying sheds the pain

To the world outside my tears I refuse to explain
I wish it would rain

Let it rain

Looking down at my tear stained face pressed against the windowpane
But I search the sky desperately for rain
'cause raindrops will hide my teardrops, no one will ever know
When I'm crying, crying when I go outside
To the world outside my tears I refuse to explain
I wish it would rain

Let it rain
