[Verse 1] You say, Hello, like a long lost friend And play me like an old violin In a day or two, youre gone again And I wonder why I keep playin [Verse 2] I sit and watch the clouds each day Wonderin when theyll turn to gray And you come and you go, like a storm across the coast And expect me to be thankful for the rain [Bridge] Well, I guess I should be thankful for All the nights of straight downpours Im soakin up every drop I get Cause who knows how long Ill have to wait Til you come blowin back my way Im learnin to be thankful for the rain [Verse 3] I know when the mornin comes The truth will rise up like the sun Cause Im cleanin up the damage done Thats everything I prayed for [Outro] You come and you go, like a storm across the coast And expect me to be thankful for the rain
