Lyrics
Raining Since You Went Away
Music by Fred Barreto
Lyrics by Doug Adair
© 2003
Verse 1
The summer?s here, the skies are clear
But in my heart only clouds appear
There is no hope for sun today
It?s been raining since you went away
Verse 2
My mind is hazy from so much rain
A raging storm engulfs my brain
I?m locked inside both night and day
It?s been raining since you went away
Chorus
I know that I could stop this rain
If you would just return again
Until you do I will remain
Trapped within a hurricane
And if I could escape this storm
I?d find a place that?s safe and warm
My heart won?t go, I?ll have to stay
It?s been raining since you went,
Raining since you went
Raining since you went away
