No More Rain

When I was younger oh so much younger oh Lord how I loved the rain
Well the thunder never scared me none oh no and the lightning good God only made me grin
But like this big world I've grown older I'm paralyzed drunk rather learn to sink than swim
And I'm lyin' on my back don't roll over cause a few more drops 'll do me in

And I say Lord oh Lord oh Lord can you stop the rain
And I say Lord oh Lord oh Lord can you stop the rain

Now I hate to see the rain when the levy breaks its no longer a game
The rivers overflow and the sewers come up from Hell
It stains the walls of my house watch it rise above the trees
The stink is great spreading carnage and disease
And like this big world I've grown older I'm paralyzed drunk rather learn to sink than swim
And I'm lyin' on my back don't roll over cause a few more drops and its the end I said I said

Oh Lord oh Lord oh Lord can you stop the rain
And I say Lord oh Lord oh Lord can you stop the rain

If truth was everything we see and honesty was hatred
Well then love would be the sky and not the sea
But we've already destroyed both of them like greedy children that snatch up the seeds
Tomorrow's not promised to them more like a promise under a Christmas tree
So take it back now if you will close your eyes and its just a dream
Hear the lies of lonely men and everything's just as it seems
I'm lyin' on my back don't roll over cause a few more drops 'll do me in

And I say Lord oh Lord oh Lord can you stop the rain
And I say Lord oh Lord oh Lord can you stop the rain
And I say love oh love oh love will you stop the rain
And I say people people people aww come on people let's stop the rain
