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 words & broken glass They knew then that their love wouldn't last [Chorus] And when it rains My lover cries And 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 dunno, a couple days But 40 nights over at my place Why do I make you cry and cry? Cause then it pours and pours outside Please, please, honey, let's not fight [Chorus] 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 Chopper quit Dripping wet It wouldn't last Wouldn't last
