Well, it's been raining on and on
Ever since you've been gone
Those dark clouds keep rolling in
And every time I think I might catch myself a glimpse of sunlight
The bottom falls out again
Well, I can barely keep afloat
I'm up the creek without a boat
And I've been a-drifting Heaven knows how long
'Cause it's been raining 40 days and a 40 nights since you've been gone

Hey, well, drip drip drip goes the sound of the rain
The four winds are blowing like a hurricane
My friends said I should settle for any port in a storm
I'd rather be inside your loving arms safe and warm
Girl, it's been a long time since I've seen sunshine
Baby, won't you come back home
'Cause it's been raining 40 days and a 40 night since you've been gone

Oh, listen to me now

I keep staring out the window
Searching for a rainbow
To signal that the storm will end
Hey, 'cause I know that the rain'll keep pouring on the pane
Until my saint comes back marching in
Oh girl, it's been a long time since I've seen sunshine
Baby, won't you come back home
'Cause it's been raining 40 days and a 40 nights since you've been gone

Hey, well, drip drip drip goes the sound of the rain
The four winds are blowing like a hurricane
My friends said I should settle for any port in a storm
I'd rather be inside your loving arms safe and warm
Girl, it's been a long time since I've seen sunshine
Baby, won't you come back home
'Cause it's been raining 40 days and a 40 night since you've been gone
Yeah, it's been raining 40 days and a 40 nights since you've been gone
