**[Verse 1]** The dust is settling on the kitchen floor An empty-pockets kind of cold I stare out through the screen-mesh door At a story that’s already been told The fields are cracked, the well is dry And there’s nothing left to lose or sell I look up at a cloudless sky And whisper to this quiet hell... **[Chorus]** **Rain, rain, come today** **And wash my pain away** Pour it down on this rotted wood Clean the places where she once stood Let the storm run deep and wild For this poor, brokenhearted child Rain, rain, come today And wash my pain away **[Verse 2]** The cupboards are bare, the stove is cold Just like the space where she used to sleep They say some blessings are worth more than gold But secrets are the only things I keep My shoes are worn, my spirit's thin And the landlord's knock is at the gate I've got no cards left to play or win Just a heavy heart and a hand of fate **[Chorus]** **Rain, rain, come today** **And wash my pain away** Pour it down on this rotted wood Clean the places where she once stood Let the storm run deep and wild For this poor, brokenhearted child Rain, rain, come today And wash my pain away **[Bridge]** > Let the thunder drown out my regrets > Let the lightning strike the things I can't forget > I don't need a harvest, I don't need the grain > I just need the mercy of the pouring rain... > **[Outro]** Just wash it all... Wash it all away. The cracked earth, the empty bed. Rain, rain... Please, come today.
