Lyrics I Wish It Would Rain - Bruce Springsteen

Sunshine, blue skies, please go away
My girl has found another and gone astray
And with her went my future, my life is filled with gloom
So day after day, I stay locked up in my room

I know, to you, it might sound strange
But I wish it would rain (oh, how I wish that it would rain)
Oh, yeah (ooh-ooh-ooh)

It hurt so badly, I wanna go outside (such a lovely day)
But everyone knows that a man ain't supposed to cry
But listen, I've got to cry because crying eases the pain

People, this hurt I feel inside, words that can never explain
I just wish it would rain (oh, how I wish that it would rain)
Oh, let it rain, let it rain (oh, how I wish that it would rain)
Please (ooh-ooh-ooh)

(Let it rain) let it rain, let it rain
(Let it rain) let it rain, let it rain, let it rain
(Let it rain) oh, let it rain

Day in, day out my tear-stained face
Pressed against the windowpane
My eyes, they search the skies desperately for rain
'Cause raindrops will hide my teardrops
And no one will ever know that I'm crying (crying), I'm crying (crying)
Yeah, when I go outside

To the world outside my tears, I refuse to explain
Oh, I wish it would rain (oh, how I wish that it would rain)
Woo, baby

(Let it rain) let it rain, let it rain
(Rain, rain, let it rain) let it rain, let it rain, let it rain
(Let it rain)
I need rain to disguise the tears in my eyes
Oh, let it rain (let it rain)

I'm a man and I got my pride
'Til it rains, I'm gonna stay inside, let it rain (ooh-ooh, let it rain)

Oh, let it rain
Oh, let it rain
Mmm, let it rain
Oh, let it rain
Ooh-ooh
