Rodney DeCroo Rain Rain lyrics

Rain, rain falling down, please wash away this dirty town,
my arms are empty and my head is such a mess.
I lost a lover and I lost a friend, and I just don't think I can do it again.
Rain, rain please wash it all away.

The day runs hot and then goes cold, and everything changes and gets old,
the streets in this town are stories of neglect.
I've played make believe, but I can't change these things I've seen,
ah rain, rain, please wash it all away.

Time runs through my hands like flash flood waters through desert sands,
here and gone and nothing left in its wake.

And ah, those thunderclouds roll on,
oh what the hell let's get it on.
Oh, rain, rain please wash it all away.

When you pass me in the street, please nod, smile
and say something sweet. You have no idea
what those little things mean to me.
Because when that night comes down,
we're all stuck in this dirty town.
Oh rain, rain, please wash it all away.
