Thankful For The Rain

You say, "Hello", like a long lost friend

And play me like an old violin

In a day or two, you're gone again

And I wonder why I keep playin'

I sit and watch the clouds each day

Wonderin' when they'll turn to gray

And you come and you go

Like a storm across the coast

And expect me to be thankful for the rain

Well, I guess I should be thankful for

All the nights of straight downpours

I'm soakin' up every drop I get

'Cause who knows how long I'll have to wait

'Til you come blowin' back my way

I'm learnin' to be thankful for the rain

I know when the mornin' comes

The truth will rise up like the sun

'Cause I'm cleanin' up the damage done

That's everything I pray for

You come and you go

Like a storm across the coast

And expect me to be thankful for the rain
