[Verse 1]
Where is the sun
The sun that used to shine on me?
Where has it gone
Or is it just a memory?

I looked through the window
Staring at the sky
Waiting for a moment
That always passed me by

[Chorus]
Black summer rain
Black summer rain
Black summer rain is falling on me, girl

[Verse 2]
Where is the love?
The love I need to set me free?
And how can I escape
This gloom that is swallowing me?

[Chorus][x2]
Black summer rain
Black summer rain
Black summer rain is falling on me, girl
