Rainy Day Man

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 don't like sunshine (sunshine)
He don't chase no rainbows
He don't need good times, no (good times)
Grey days rolling
Then you'll see him
I said empty feeling
Lord, now you need him

All those noble thoughts, they don't belong
Can't hide the truth with a happy song
And since you knew where you stood all along
Just call on your rainy day man

Now simple pleasures, they all evade you
Store-bought treasures, Lord, none can save you, no, now
Look for signs to ease the pain
I said ask again
Go on and pray for rain

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
All I'm asking just to look up your rainy day man
