Crying In The Rain Lyrics

CRYING IN THE RAIN

   A black cat moans when he's burning with 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 an' tired of life.

I keep on dreaming dreams of tomorrow,
feel I'm wasting my time, lightning candles in the wind.
Always taking my chances on the promise of the future
but a heartful of sorrow paints a lonely tapestry.

      The sun is shining but it's raining in my heart.
      No one understands the heartache, no one feels the pain
      'cos no one ever sees the tears when you're crying in the rain,
      when you're crying in the rain,
      when you're crying in the rain.

I can never deny all the sweet things I have tasted.
Tho' I've been mistreated I keep coming back for more.
I know where I'm going, there's no hope for absolution.
I can't seem to separate the good times from the bad.

      The sun is shining but it's raining in my heart.
      No one understands the heartache, no one feels the pain
      'cos no one ever sees the tears when you're crying in the rain,
      when you're crying in the rain,
      when you're crying in the rain,
      when you're crying in the rain.

      The sun is shining but it's raining in my heart.
      No one understands the heartache, no one feels the pain
      'cos no one ever sees the tears when you're crying in the rain,
      when you're crying in the rain,
      when you're crying in the rain,
      when you're crying in the rain,
      when you're crying in the rain,
      crying in the rain.
