Left alone in the city where a stranger's the only friend
I can find
Greed is driving up and down the streets runnin' over my
Peace of mind
And when I hear the sound
Of my broken dream going down
I'm gonna listen to the rain, listen to the rain
I'm gonna listen to the rain, listen to the rain
I've learned more than I ever wanna know about cheatin' hearts
And two-timin' eyes
Should've listened to my first impression that the kind regards
Were a cruel disguise
They're lying in my ear
When they tell me what I want to hear
I'm gonna listen to the rain, listen to the rain
I'm gonna listen to the rain, listen to the rain
I've been deep in shallow water
And I need the rain
To wash this heartache from me
And to cool the pain
When it rains I remember why I started down this road
Of lonesome dreams
All the buyin' and the sellin's just noise trying to cover up
What love means
And when I hear the sound
Of my broken dream going down
I'm gonna listen to the rain, listen to the rain
I'm gonna listen to the rain, listen to the rain
I'm gonna listen to the rain, listen to the rain
I'm gonna listen to the rain, listen to the rain
