Rainy Day Man

[Intro]

What good is that happy lie?

All you wanted from the start was to cry, girl

[Verse 1]

It looks like another fall

Your friends they don't seem to help at all

Now when you're feelin' kind of cold and small

Just look up your rainy day man

[Verse 2]

It does you no good to pretend, child

You've made a hole much too big to mend

And it looks like you lose again, my friend

So go on home and look up your rainy day man

[Chorus]

Now rainy day man don't like sunshine

He don't chase no rainbows, he don't need good times, no

Gray days roll in, then you'll see him

I said empty feeling, Lord now you need him

[Verse 3]

All those noble thoughts, they don't belong

Can't hide the truth with a happy song

And since you knew where you stood all along

Just go call on your rainy day man

[Chorus]

Now simple pleasures, they all evade you

Store-bought treasures, Lord, none can save you, no now

Look for signs to ease the pain

I said ask again, go on and pray for rain

[Verse 1]

It looks like another fall

Your friends they don't seem to help at all

Now, when you're feeling kind of cold and small

Just look up your rainy day man

[Refrain]

All I'm askin' just to look up your rainy day man
