Well its been a rainin' on and on
Ever since you've been gone
Those dark clouds keep a rollin' in
And every time I think I might catch myself a glimpse ofsunlight
The bottom falls out again
Well I can barely keep afloat
I'm up the creek without a boat
And I've been a driftin' heaven knows how long
'Cause' it's been rainin' 40 days and a 40 nights since you've been gone

Hey well drip, drip, drip
Goes the sound of the rain
The four winds are blowin' like a hurricane
My friends said I should settle for any board in a storm
I'd rather be inside your lovin' arms
Safe and warm
Girl it's been a long time
Since I've seen sunshine
Baby won't you come back home
'Cause' it's been a rainin' 40 days and a 40 nights since you've been gone

Listen to me now
I keep staring out the window
Searching for a rainbow
To signal that the storm will end
Hey, 'cause' I know that the rain will keep pourin' on the pane
Until my saint comes back marchin' in
Oh, girl it's been a long time since I've seen sunshine
Baby won't you come back home
'Cause' it's been a rainin' 40 days and a 40 nights since you've been gone

Hey well drip, drip, drip
Goes the sound of the rain
The four winds are blowin' like a hurricane
My friends said I should settle for any board in a storm
I'd rather be inside your lovin' arms
Safe and warm
Girl it's been a long time since I've seen sunshine
But baby won't you come back home
'Cause' it's been a rainin' 40 days and a 40 nights since you've been gone
Yeah, it's been a rainin' 40 days and a 40 nights since you've been gone
