Lyrics

Black Rain Cloud

Can I listen to this song

Without crying

Can I listen to these words

Without dying

Maybe good times I'll remember

Bad times I'll ignore

Cause I don't want to feel

Like a black rain cloud anymore

Can I think about the way

We were together

Can I give a little rain

For better weather

Let the sun come shining through

Just like it did before

Cause I don't want to feel

Like a black rain cloud anymore

Did I hold on for so long for love

Or was it just jealousy

Was I doing everything for you

Or did I do it for me

Did I hold on for so long for love

Or was it just jealousy

Was I doing everything for you

Or did I do it for me

If I saw you walking by

Before you saw me

Would I run and try to hide

And if you called me

Could I answer you and say

The rain will never pour

Cause I don't want to feel

Like a black rain cloud anymore

Black rain cloud anymore

Black rain cloud anymore
