The Faces — I Wish It Would Rain lyrics

(Whitfield, Strong, Penzabine)

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 window pane
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
