The Sun is shining bright in the sky,
Onto my face, but all these tears, they won't dry!
People walk by and they wave,
How do you do, but I've got nothing to say!
No, it don't have to rain to be a rainy day!
Birds are singing up in the trees,
But their songs ain't doing nothing for me,
Well, you're in the pink!
But I'm feeling so grey!
Just try to dance,
Nah, I'll just roll in my grave!
No, it don't have to rain to be a rainy day!
Everything in your life is just fine,
But I got something that ain't right with my mind!
Why don't you try to get right with the Lord?
Or get that girl that I know I can afford?
Well, you can drink yourself onto the floor,
But when I wake, it's raining worse than before!
Fix it with a shot in your arm!
It kills the pain, but it would do me more harm!
Or you could work til the end of your days,
I'd take my money, spend it all in one place!
Why don't you sail off and live on the sea?
Cause all the while, I'd be out, stuck there with me, yeah!
Is nothing gonna turn you around?
So I keep walking with my head to the ground,
When will you get your weather to change?
Bring your umbrella, expect more of the same!
Cause it don't have to rain,
To be a rainy day!
