Oh why, when the rain come you are not with me?
Oh why, when the rain come you are not there?
Oh why, when the rain come you are not with me?
We said, now girl, we'd never be apart
We said, now babe, we'd never be apart
Never had I had to rely on trusting in the unknown
Never had to say goodbye without the reassurance of your hold
Time has come and I have tried to be a man, no pain, don't cry
I said I'm tough, but I lied
I said I'm tough, but I lied
Never have I had to try so hard to keep this face of stone
Girl you know it's not because I'm too afraid to be alone
Time has come to do what's right
I leave today, it's still night and
When my heart calls what will you say?
Oh why, when the rain come you are not with me?
Oh why, when the rain come you are not there?
Oh why, when the rain come you are not with me?
We said, now girl, we'd never be apart
We said, now babe, we'd never be apart
Keep the faith have strength and might
The morning rays will take this night and
When your heart calls gloom fades
You know the gloom might fade away
Oh why, when the rain come you are not there?
Oh why, when the rain come you are not with me?
We said, now girl, we'd never be apart
We said, now babe, we'd never be apart
Never had I had to rely on trusting in the unknown
Never had to say goodbye without the reassurance of your hold
Time has come and I have tried to be a man, no pain, don't cry
I said I'm tough, but I lied
I said I'm tough, but I lied
Never have I had to try so hard to keep this face of stone
Girl you know it's not because I'm too afraid to be alone
Time has come to do what's right
I leave today, it's still night and
When my heart calls what will you say?
Oh why, when the rain come you are not with me?
Oh why, when the rain come you are not there?
Oh why, when the rain come you are not with me?
We said, now girl, we'd never be apart
We said, now babe, we'd never be apart
Keep the faith have strength and might
The morning rays will take this night and
When your heart calls gloom fades
You know the gloom might fade away
