He said it's gonna rain yes and I believe itnIt ain't so rare around here this time of yearnI can always use an excuse to feel like I donA reason to keep my eyes on the pavementnWhen I have to leave the roomnnAnd I hope this time it's something morenForty days and forty nights won't be enough to soothe my soulnI hope the heavens open widenAnd pour out enough to flood this city for milesnnThey say your luck will turn when you least expect itnI haven't expected much of anything since they took my kids awaynI could use something good to fix this hell that I'm innYeah I'm guilty of all that judge put on his listnnRight now I need something morenForty days and forty nights ain't enough to soothe my soulnI wish the heavens would open widenAnd pour out enough to flood this city for milesnnSomeday these worries will be naught but a memorynAnd the hardness of pity, well it softens with a walk to that cornernnYes, it's gonna rain and I expect itnIt ain't so rare around here this time of year
