Sunshine, blue skies, please go away
My girl has found another and gone away
With her went my future, my life is filled with gloom
So day after day I stay locked up in my room
I know to you it might sound strange
But I wish it would rain

'Cause so badly I wanna go outside
But everyone knows that a man ain't supposed to cry
But I gotta cry 'cause crying eases the pain
There's hurt inside words could never explain
I wish it would rain
Let it rain

Day in day out my tear-stained face
Pressed against the windowpane
My eyes search the skies desperately for rain
'Cause raindrops hide my teardrops
And no one will ever know I'm crying
Crying, crying, crying when I go outside
To the world outside my tears I refuse to explain
Oh I wish it would rain
Oh I wish it would rain
I wish it would rain
