It Never Rains

Looking out my back door

Sun beating down

Crops are wilting

In the hardened ground

Silence between the walls

Heart as heavy

As a cannonball

It never rains

And love never lasts

When I want it to

You plant the seed

Just to watch it die

Right in front of you

I went out on a limb

Talking to the bank

And letting you in

Looking like a clown

Couldn't read the writing

All over town

It never rains

And love never lasts

When I want it to

You plant the seed

Just to watch it die

Right in front of you

Those April showers are gone

(those April showers are gone)

And you left us all alone

(you left us all alone)

Nothing ever grows in the dark

(nothing grows in the dark)

Except the weeds of your heart

And it never rains

And love never lasts

When I want it to

I don't know why

I even try

Love's gonna die

Like it did with you
