Let It Rain

Lord, let it rain

I can't stand the lie of a blue sky one more day

Can't you make that pitter-patter

Sweet teardrop splatter

Against my window pane

Come on, bring down the sky

Let those clouds and me have a good cry

Let it rain

Lord, let it rain

Take away the glare of the empty shape of the day

Can't you make that liquid fly

Bubbles rise

Heat wave die

Let water slip and slide me away

Your sun makes me feel like a fool

God, your weather just don't match my mood

Let it rain

Let the thunder crack

Let the lightning snap the tension

Of a long dry afternoon

Wash away the time

Cover me in shadow then forgive me

For lying in bed

Listening to the rain fall on my roof

Let it rain

I can't stand the sound of the silent sun on my face

Can't you make those downtown hopping

Grocery shopping

Perky, plodding

Cheerful folks go away

Come on, bring on the flood

Let my soul have its day in the mud

Let it rain

Come on, bring down the sky

Let those clouds and me have a good cry

Let it rain

Lord, let it rain
