He said it's gonna rain yes and I believe it It ain't so rare around here this time of year I can always use an excuse to feel like I do A reason to keep my eyes on the pavement When I have to leave the room And I hope this time it's something more Forty days and forty nights won't be enough to soothe my soul I hope the heavens open wide And pour out enough to flood this city for miles They say your luck will turn when you least expect it I haven't expected much of anything since they took my kids away I could use something good to fix this hell that I'm in Yeah I'm guilty of all that judge put on his list Right now I need something more Forty days and forty nights ain't enough to soothe my soul I wish the heavens would open wide And pour out enough to flood this city for miles Someday these worries will be naught but a memory And the hardness of pity, well it softens with a walk to that corner Yes, it's gonna rain and I expect it It ain't so rare around here this time of year
