A black cat moans
When he's burnin' with the fever
A stray dog howls
When he's lonely in the night
A woman goes crazy
With the thoughts of retribution
Then a man starts weeping
When he's sick and tired of life
I keep on dreaming dreams of tomorrow
Feel I'm wasting my time
Lighting candles in the wind
Always takin' my chances
On the promise of the future
That a heart full of sorrow
Paints a lonely tapestry
The sun is shinin', ooh
But it's raining in my heart
No one understands the heartache
No one feels the pain
No one ever sees the tears
When you're crying in the rain
When you're crying in the rain
Crying in the rain
I can never deny
All the sweet things I've tasted
Though I've been mistreated
I keep coming back for more, more, more
I know where I'm going
There's no hope of absolution
I can't seem to separate
The good times from the bad
The sun is shining, ooh baby
It's still raining in my heart, in my heart
No one understands the heartache
No one feels the pain
No one ever sees the tears
When you're crying in the rain
When you're crying in the rain
When you're crying in the rain
When you're crying in the rain
No, no, no
The sun is shining
But it's raining in my heart
No one understands the heartache
No one feels the pain
No one ever sees the tears
When you're crying in the rain
When you're crying in the rain
When you're crying in the rain
When you're crying in the rain
Crying in the rain
When he's burnin' with the fever
A stray dog howls
When he's lonely in the night
A woman goes crazy
With the thoughts of retribution
Then a man starts weeping
When he's sick and tired of life
I keep on dreaming dreams of tomorrow
Feel I'm wasting my time
Lighting candles in the wind
Always takin' my chances
On the promise of the future
That a heart full of sorrow
Paints a lonely tapestry
The sun is shinin', ooh
But it's raining in my heart
No one understands the heartache
No one feels the pain
No one ever sees the tears
When you're crying in the rain
When you're crying in the rain
Crying in the rain
I can never deny
All the sweet things I've tasted
Though I've been mistreated
I keep coming back for more, more, more
I know where I'm going
There's no hope of absolution
I can't seem to separate
The good times from the bad
The sun is shining, ooh baby
It's still raining in my heart, in my heart
No one understands the heartache
No one feels the pain
No one ever sees the tears
When you're crying in the rain
When you're crying in the rain
When you're crying in the rain
When you're crying in the rain
No, no, no
The sun is shining
But it's raining in my heart
No one understands the heartache
No one feels the pain
No one ever sees the tears
When you're crying in the rain
When you're crying in the rain
When you're crying in the rain
When you're crying in the rain
Crying in the rain
