Lyrics

Whenever It Rains

Whenever it rains
And the streetlights shine
On the wet, black pavement
And the old stop signs
And the water runs streaks
Down her cracked window pane
I see her face
Whenever it rains

Whenever it rains
And the radio hums
And the voices strain
And the guitar’s strummed
And I join in
Singing in vain
I hear her voice
Whenever it rains

Get out in the sunshine
Get out in the day
Get outside your head now
Wash the rain away
All the rain has gone now
But she won’t go away
And I watch as the sky turns gray

But whenever it rains
And soaks the flowers
Behind the churchyard
Drenched by showers
Of bells and organs
And cheap champagne
I taste her smile
Whenever it rains

When it don’t rain
And the sidewalks dry
And a dull gray light
Covers the sky
And everything’s still
But I ain’t the same
I close my eyes
And wait for rain
