I wish it would rain Lyrics

[Chorus:]
Oh, I wish it would rain
And wash my face clean
I want to find some dark cloud to
Hide in here
Love in a memory
Sparkled like diamonds
When the diamonds fall... they burn
Like tears
When the diamonds fall... they burn
Like tears

Once I had a love from the
Georgia pines
Who only cared for me
I wanna find that love of twenty-two
Here at thirty-three
I've got a heart on my right
One on my left... neither suits my needs
No, the one I love lives a-way out West
And he never will need me

[Chorus]

I'm gonna pack up my two steppin' shoes
And head for the Gulf Coast plains
I wanna walk the streets of my
Own hometown
Where everybody knows my name
I wanna ride the waves down
In Galveston
When the hurricanes blow in
'Cuz that Gulf Coast water tastes
Sweet as wine
When your heart's rollin' home in
The wind

[Chorus]

When the diamonds fall darlin'... they
Burn like tears
