When Love is Like the Rain

1/15/07

Sure was cold and cruel

He was walking down the road

His face was wet with tears

His face was wet with raindrops

He did not have a prayer or the right kind of clothes to save him from this kind of weather

Now, a man may want the rain falling gently on his fields

Putting food up on his table

But when it turns relentless

And the river crests and floods

That's the way it is when love makes you sorry for the things you wished for

When love is like the rain

Give up, give up

When love is like the rain

At first she gave him spring

Showered him with things

That grew up all around him

But then one day she changed

And now her love was falling on everything but him

There was nothing he could do but watch it rain

Sometimes its hard to know when to cut your losses

Turn and run for cover, find another lover

You keep hoping for the best

But it turns out to be less than what it really takes to keep you going

When love is like the rain

Give up, give up

When love is like the rain

First all the predictions said she was the one

But everything's gone cloudy, and you cannot see the sun

You want to turn off all those feelings

Want to make them stop

Can't take another minute

No, no not another drop

When love is like the rain

Sure was hard and cruel

He was walking down the road

The raindrops fell like tears

When at last he'd had enough

H e turned and headed home

He was ready for a change of weather
