The sun will show no mercy, my nights are spent in vain
Well things I loved, attached or not, yeah well I've thrown away
(When will it rain?)
When will it rain?
(When will it rain?)
It's burning holes in my shoes, won't you tell me?
You can't lose the things attached or that's what they say
(When will it rain?)
The sun will show no mercy, my nights are spent in vain
Can't count the days gone by, can't wash away the stain
I think I'm going insane
(When will it rain?)
(When will it rain?)
(When will it rain?)
(When will it rain?)
And I've felt the pain of the world falling down on me
It's burning holes in my shoes, won't you tell me?
I think I'm going insane
You can walk, you can run but can't hide from the blues
Is it ever going to rain?
Can't stand this heat from the road, can't stand the pain
And I've tried to hide in every corner of this land?
Well I chose this long road and on it I remain
(When will it rain?)
I'm on the road that will never take me home
I must be going insane
(When will it rain?)
When will it rain?
I'm standing here in the sun but that don't mind
Well all I need is a little cool rain to set me free
When will it rain, I feel the heat burning through my shoes?
When will it rain?
I'm on the road that will never ever take me home
Lying on the rain
Well I chose this long road and on it I remain
I'm on the road that will never take me home
Left on the life behind me from which I came
It's burning holes in my shoes, won't you tell me?
(When will it rain?)
Soft shoulders are getting harder adding to my blues
When will it rain?
Can't stand this heat from the road, can't stand the pain
Well I chose this long road and on it I remain
(When will it rain?)
I've walked for miles and miles in a dead man's shoes
I can't stand this heat from the road, can't stand the pain
The day is getting longer, the heat is getting hotter
The sun will show no mercy, my nights are spent in vain
When will it rain?
The day is getting longer, the heat is getting hotter
(When will it rain?)
It's burning holes in my shoes, won't you tell me?
I think I'm going insane
When will it rain?
All I need is a little cool rain
I'm on the road that will never take me home
(When will it rain?)
