Give me skies of black and blue
The way you make me feel
And give me skies of green and red

Cold winds that make it real

Storms are brewing deep within

Of hurt and loss and pride
It's good to see the world in pain
When I take a walk outside


When it rains, I don't mind being lonely
I cry right along with the sky

When it rains, I don't pretend to be happy
I don't even have to try


When it rains some people get down
They're sporting a frown so I fit right in
Yeah, the sun may brighten your day

But if I had my way I'd take the rain

I don't care about politics

Or the hypocrites on my TV
I'm not mad at the girl who left
'Cause she couldn't be with me


So make up your theories
About the scandals and the lies

Start out depressed
Everything comes as a pleasant surprise


When it rains, I don't mind being lonely
I cry right along with the sky
When it rains, I don't pretend to be happy

I don't even have to try

'Cause when it rains some people get down

They're sporting a frown so I fit right in
Yeah, the sun may brighten your day
But if I had my way I'd take the rain


When it rains I don't mind being lonely
I cry right along with the sky

When it rains I don't pretend to be happy
I don't even have to try


When it rains I don't mind being lonely
I cry right along with the sky
When it rains I don't pretend to be happy

I don't even have to try

'Cause when it rains some people get down

They're sporting a frown so I fit right in
Yeah, the sun may brighten your day
But if I had my way, I'd take the rain
