A black cat moans
When he's burning with the fever
A stray dog howls
When he's lonely in the night
A woman goes crazy
With the thoughts of retribution
But, a man starts weeping
When he's sick and tired of life
I keep on dreaming dreams of tomorrow
Feel I'm wasting my time lighting candles in the wind
Always taking my chances on the promise of the future
But a heart full of sorrow paints a lonely tapestry
The sun is shining,
Oh Babe!
but it's raining in my heart
No one understands the heartache
No one feels the pain
'Cause no one ever sees the tears
When you're crying in the rain
Crying in the rain
Crying in the rain...
I can never deny all the sweet things I have tasted
Though I've been mistreated
I keep coming, coming back for more
I know where I'm going, there's no hope of absolution
I can't seem to separate the good times from the bad
The sun is shining,
Oh Babe!
but it's raining in my heart, in my heart
No one understands the heartache
No one feels the pain
No one ever sees the tears
When you're crying in the rain
Crying in the rain
Crying in the rain
Crying in the rain
no! no! no!
[Instrumental Break & Tommy Aldridge Drum Solo]
(Chorus)
The sun is shining
but it's raining in my heart
No one understands the heartache
No one feels the pain
No one ever sees the tears
When you're crying in the rain
Crying in the rain
Crying in the rain
Crying in the rain!
Crying in the rain
Crying in the rain...
on the drums Mr Tommy Aldridge!
When he's burning with the fever
A stray dog howls
When he's lonely in the night
A woman goes crazy
With the thoughts of retribution
But, a man starts weeping
When he's sick and tired of life
I keep on dreaming dreams of tomorrow
Feel I'm wasting my time lighting candles in the wind
Always taking my chances on the promise of the future
But a heart full of sorrow paints a lonely tapestry
The sun is shining,
Oh Babe!
but it's raining in my heart
No one understands the heartache
No one feels the pain
'Cause no one ever sees the tears
When you're crying in the rain
Crying in the rain
Crying in the rain...
I can never deny all the sweet things I have tasted
Though I've been mistreated
I keep coming, coming back for more
I know where I'm going, there's no hope of absolution
I can't seem to separate the good times from the bad
The sun is shining,
Oh Babe!
but it's raining in my heart, in my heart
No one understands the heartache
No one feels the pain
No one ever sees the tears
When you're crying in the rain
Crying in the rain
Crying in the rain
Crying in the rain
no! no! no!
[Instrumental Break & Tommy Aldridge Drum Solo]
(Chorus)
The sun is shining
but it's raining in my heart
No one understands the heartache
No one feels the pain
No one ever sees the tears
When you're crying in the rain
Crying in the rain
Crying in the rain
Crying in the rain!
Crying in the rain
Crying in the rain...
on the drums Mr Tommy Aldridge!
