Rainy Day Man

Lyrics

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
