When She Cries Lyrics by Alice Wallace

Into the Blue

2019

[Verse 1]
They say it never rains in southern California
The summer's dry and the winter's just the same
But today the skies, they opened up and poured down on her
Washing all the nevers down the drain
I almost can't recall the last time I heard thunder
Or looked up at a sky so dark and grey
And it's funny how I never stopped to wonder
At every endless perfect sunny day
[Chorus 1]
But now it's raining in the City of Angels
She just couldn't hold her tears back if she tried
And now the water drains aren't so low
It's got nowhere to go
And the tears come in rivers when she cries
[Verse 2]
You know, the freeways have an inch of standing water
'Cause the sewers can't keep up with the flood
But we're all still moving at eighty miles-an-hour
'Cause caution never did us any good
I almost never pay attention to the weather
And, you know, it almost never lets me down
'Cause it almost never rains in southern California
But when it does, Lord help us or we'll drown
[Chorus 2]
Now it's raining in the City of Angels
The LA River's rising faster than it oughta
And now the hour's getting late
Shoulders just can't bear the weight
And it seems like the whole world is under water
[Chorus 3]
Now it's raining in the City of Angels
Smearing that mascara from our eyes
We saw the clouds roll in
But we bet wrong on the wind
Now all we can do is curse the sky
All we can do is curse the sky
All we can do is curse the sky
