The game of skies black and blue,
the way you make me feel
The game of skies green and red,
cold winds,
you make it real
The storms are brewing deep within,
we've heard you lost and tried
It's good to see the world in pain when I take a walk outside
When it rains, I don't mind being lonely,
cry right along with the sky
When it rains,
I don't pretend to be happy,
don't even have to try
When it rains,
people get down,
there's sport and the frowns,
so fit right in
Yeah,
the sun may brighten your day,
but if I had my way,
I'd take the rain
I don't care about politics or the hypocrites on my TV
And I'm not mad at the girl who left,
cause she could be with me
So make up your theories about the scandals and the lies
You start out depressed,
everything comes as a pleasant surprise
When it rains, I don't mind being lonely,
cry right along with the sky
When it rains,
I don't pretend to be happy,
don't even have to try
When it rains,
people get down,
there's sport and the frowns,
so fit right in
Yeah,
the sun may brighten your day,
but if I had my way,
I'd take the rain
When it rains, I don't mind being lonely,
cry right along with the sky
When it rains,
I don't pretend to be happy,
don't even have to try
When it rains, I don't mind being lonely,
cry right along with the sky
When it rains,
I don't pretend to be happy,
don't even have to try
When it rains,
people get down,
there's sport and the frowns, so fit right in
Yeah,
the sun may brighten your day,
but if I had my way,
I'd take the rain
