I Wish It Would Rain Lyrics by Altered State

Dos

1993

An empty life, an empty hand
Well I did assume that I might understand
Tell me, where did go wrong (?)
What did I lose (?) What did I choose (?)
This empty city's view
I wish it would rain...until it washes over me
I wish it would rain...let the water set me free
I wish it would rain...until it’s all there is to see
Oh, rain
I'm walking through a silent war (fuck you man, fuck you, fuck you, fuck you)
I must be 'cause I’ve never felt any peace before
Tell me, when was misery born (?)
It has no face, it has no soul, but now it has a home
I wish it would rain...until it washes over me
I wish it would rain...let the water set me free
I wish it would rain...until it's all there is to see
Oh, rain
I have tried to live a life that would stand up to my mother's hopes and my father's doubts
Now it pours into the river and spills into the ocean of rain
I wish it would rain...until it washes over me
I wish it would rain...let the water set me free
I wish it would rain...until it's all there is to see
Oh, rain
Why won't it rain...
