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
