I wish it would rain

Oh I wish it would rain and wash my face clean
I want to find some dark cloud to hide in here
Oh love and a memory sparkle like diamonds
When the diamonds fall they burn like tears
When the diamonds fall they burn like tears

Once I had a love from the Georgia Plains who only cared for me
I want to find that love of 22 here at 33
I've got a heart on my right and one on my left
And neither suits my needs

Now the one I love is way out west and he never will need me

Oh I wish it would rain and wash my face clean
I want to find some dark cloud to hide in here
Oh love and a memory sparkle like diamonds
When the diamonds fall they burn like tears
When the diamonds fall they burn like tears

I'm gonna pack up my two-step shoes and head for the Gulf Coast plains
I want to walk the streets of my own home town
Where everybody knows my name
I want to ride a wave down to Galveston when the hurricanes blow in
'Cause that Gulf Coast water tastes as sweet as wine
When your heart's rollin' home in the wind

Oh I wish it would rain and wash my face clean
I want to find some dark cloud to hide in here
Oh love and a memory sparkle like diamonds
When the diamonds fall they burn like tears
When the diamonds fall they burn like tears
When the diamonds fall they burn like tears
