I Wish It Would Rain

Oh, I wish it would rain and wash my face clean

I want to find some dark cloud to hide in here

Oh love and a memory sparkle like diamonds

When the diamonds fall they burn like tears

When the diamonds fall they burn like tears

Once I had a love from the Georgia pines who only cared for me

I want to find that love of 22 here at 33

I've got a heart on my right and one on my left and neither suits my needs

No the one I love is way out west

And he never will need me

So, I wish it would rain and wash my face clean

I want to find some dark cloud to hide in here

Oh love and a memory sparkle like diamonds

When the diamonds fall they burn like tears

When the diamonds fall they burn like tears

I'm gonna pack up my two-stepping shoes and head for the Gulf Coast plains

I want to walk the streets of my own home town where everybody knows my name

I want to ride the waves down to Galveston when the hurricanes blow in

Cause that Gulf Coast water tastes sweet as wine

When your heart's rolling home in the wind

So, I wish it would rain and wash my face clean

I want to find some dark cloud to hide in here

Oh love and a memory sparkle like diamonds

When the diamonds fall they burn like tears

When the diamonds fall they burn like tears

When the diamonds fall, darlin’, they burn like tears
