| Well it’s been rainin' on and on, ever since you’ve been gone
|
| Those dark clouds keep a-rollin' in
|
| And every time I think I might catch myself a glimpse of sunlight
|
| The bottom falls out again
|
| Well I can barely keep afloat, I’m up the creek without a boat
|
| And I’ve been a-driftin' Heaven knows how long
|
| 'Cause it’s been rainin' 40 days
|
| And the 40 nights since you’ve been gone
|
| Hey, well, drip, drip, drip, goes the sound of the rain
|
| The four winds are blowin' like a hurricane
|
| My friends said I should settle for any port in a storm
|
| I’d rather be inside your lovin' arms, safe and warm
|
| Girl, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen sunshine
|
| Baby, won’t you come back home
|
| 'Cause it’s been rainin' 40 days
|
| And the 40 nights since you’ve been gone
|
| Aw, listen to me now
|
| I keep starin' out the window, searchin' for a rainbow
|
| To signal that the storm will end
|
| Hey, 'cause I know that the rain will keep pourin' on the pane
|
| Until my saint comes back marchin' in
|
| Oh, girl, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen sunshine
|
| Baby, won’t you come back home
|
| 'Cause it’s been rainin' 40 days
|
| And the 40 nights since you’ve been gone
|
| Hey, well, drip, drip, drip, goes the sound of the rain
|
| The four winds are blowin' like a hurricane
|
| My friends said I should settle for any port in a storm
|
| I’d rather be inside your lovin' arms, safe and warm
|
| Girl, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen sunshine
|
| Baby, won’t you come back home
|
| 'Cause it’s been rainin' 40 days
|
| And the 40 nights since you’ve been gone
|
| Yeah, it’s been rainin' 40 days
|
| And the 40 nights since you’ve been gone |
