[Verse 1]
I can't help it if I have a widower's heart
I tried to get out of bed but I can't seem to start
When I hit the road it was freezing and dark
And I hope that it's warmer wherever you are
[Verse 2]
I turned to say I was sorry and tried to explain
But the room, it was empty and bitter and drained
No songs from the angels, no blood in my veins
Could ever replace you, and here I remain
[Chorus]
Oh, rain
Come wash me and keep me
And take me away
[Verse 3]
New York was a rough place that suited me well
You bragged of religion and put me through hell
Maybe I'm better off, maybe it's hard to tell
When I left you were sleeping through trumpets and bells
[Chorus]
Oh, rain
Come wash me and keep me
And take me away
[Verse 4]
One moment of peace that would suit me so fine
There's echoes and glimpses of beautiful times
I'm sure it's much harder on your end than mine
If you ever pass through here I'm not hard to find
[Chorus]
Oh, rain
Come wash me and keep me
And take me away
Oh, rain
Come wash me and keep me
And take me away
