When It Rains

Under the highway overpass
They ran for cover from heaven above
His cycle quit a quarter mile back
Dripping wet as the cars flew past
Pigeons nested overhead
Painted work, broken glass
They knew then that their love would last

And when it rains my lover cries
It's a rain that'll wash away the sins of the world
A rain that shows beauty never dies
'Cause when it rains my lover cries
When it rains my lover cries

Rain all day, rain all night
How the hell long has it been raining?
I don't know, a couple days
But 40 nights over at my place
Why do I make you cry and cry?
'Cause then it pours, pours outside
Please, please honey let's not fight

And when it rains my lover cries
It's a rain that'll wash away the sins of the world
A rain that shows beauty never dies
'Cause when it rains my lover cries
When it rains my lover cries

And when it rains my lover cries
It's a rain that'll wash away the sins of the world
A rain that shows beauty never dies
'Cause when it rains my lover cries
When it rains my lover cries
Say when it rains my lover cries

Under the highway, cycle quit
Dripping wet, and it would last
Would last
