Lyrics
It rained 40 days, 40 nights without stopping
Noah was glad when the rain stopped dropping
Knocked at the windows, knocked at the doors
Cried Noah, "Can you take no more?"
Noah cried, "No, I'm full of sin
My Lord's got the key, and I can't get in"
Just listen to the rain, just listen to the rain
All day, all night, all night, all day
Didn't it, rain children, rain all night long
Didn't it, didn't it, oh my Lord
Didn't it rain
God sent a raven to spread the news
Hoist his wings and away he flew
To the north, to the south, to the east, to the west
Some crying, some moaning, some moaning, some praying
Just listen to the rain, listen to the rain
All day, all night. All night, all day
Didn't it, rain children, rain all night long
Didn't it, didn't it, oh my Lord
Oh didn't it rain
You can run but you can't hide
The river rises higher and higher
Tears falling from heaven's eyes
Mountains like dust in the vault of the sky
God gave Noah the rainbow sign, said
"No more water, fire next time"
Listen to the rain, Just listen to the rain
All day, all night, all night, all day
Just listen to the rain, just listen to the rain
David looked up in the heat of the day
Tuned his harp and began to play
All day, all night, all night, all day
Listen to the rain, just listen to the rain
Some crying, some moaning, some moaning, some praying
Said listen to the rain, just listen to the rain
Said listen to the rain, listen to the rain
All day, all night, all night, all night
Didn't it, rain children, rain all night long
Didn't it, didn't it, oh my Lord
Oh didn't it rain.
