Lyrics

When it Rains

Well, it’s been thirteen days, I never cease to be amazed
How many hurricanes does it take to cloud my way?
Can’t stand these sunny days
I bought a rose on Bourbon Avenue
You never showed and now I’m feeling blue
Just like a train that’s jumped the tracks
I’ll pray for you but you ain’t coming back
Can’t take this city strain
You said you’re coming down, so I got you a seat
A balcony room, though we never, ever sleep
And now I’m stuck here, wandering, bourbon lane
Roses fading, and you’re to blame
I’ll quit drinking when it rains
Quit drinking when it rains, ah yeah
Well, it’s been thirteen sunny days
I never cease to be amazed
How many hurricanes does it take to cloud my way?
Can’t stand these sunny days
Well, I hope it never rains
I hope it never rains
I pray it never rains
While I’ve been thinking and this city’s sinking
My heart is drinking
I’m drinking in the rain
I’m drinking in the rain
