What good is that happy lie? All you wanted from the start was to cry, girl.
|
It looks like another fall. Your friends they don't seem to help at all.
|
Now, when you're feeling kind of cold and small, just look up your rainy day man.
|
|
It does you no good to pretend, child. You've made a hole much too big to mend.
|
And it looks like you lose again, my friend, so go on home and look up your rainy day man.
|
|
Now rainy day man, he don't like sunshine,
|
he don't chase rainbows, he don't need good times, no.
|
Grey days rolling, then you'll see him, I said empty feeling, Lord now you need him.
|
|
All those noble thoughts, they just don't belong. You can't hide the truth with a happy song.
|
And since you knew where you stood all along, just go call up your rainy day man.
|
|
Now simple pleasures they all evade you, store-bought treasures, Lord none can save you.
|
Look for signs to ease the pain, I said ask again, go on and pray for rain.
|
|
It looks like another fall. Your good friends they don't seem to help at all.
|
Now, when you're feeling kind of cold and small, just look up your rainy day man,
|
all I'm asking just to look up your rainy day man.
