It's raining outside But that's not unusual But the way that I'm feeling Is becoming usual I guess you could say The clouds are moving away Away from your days And into mine Now it's raining inside It's kind of a shame And it's getting to me A happy man Why should you want to Waste all my time The world is yours But I am mine Rain, rain, rain in my tears Measuring carefully my years Shame, shame, shame in my mind See what you've done to my life See what you've done to my life
