Well its been a rainin' on and on Ever since you've been gone Those dark clouds keep a rollin' in And every time I think I might catch myself a glimpse ofsunlight The bottom falls out again Well I can barely keep afloat I'm up the creek without a boat And I've been a driftin' heaven knows how long 'Cause' it's been rainin' 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 blowin' like a hurricane My friends said I should settle for any board in a storm I'd rather be inside your lovin' 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 a rainin' 40 days and a 40 nights since you've been gone 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 will keep pourin' on the pane Until my saint comes back marchin' 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 a rainin' 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 blowin' like a hurricane My friends said I should settle for any board in a storm I'd rather be inside your lovin' arms Safe and warm Girl it's been a long time since I've seen sunshine But baby won't you come back home 'Cause' it's been a rainin' 40 days and a 40 nights since you've been gone Yeah, it's been a rainin' 40 days and a 40 nights since you've been gone
