Wish It Would Rain Lyrics by Roger Joseph Manning Jr.

The Land of Pure Imagination

0

Remember when in nursery school age 3 or 4
I put my arm around the girl who lived next door
A kiss on the cheek then a slap across my face
And birthday parties fun and games with donkey's tails
Close your eyes and spin around I never failed
"The truth now young man" screamed the witch until I cried
Well I wish it would rain upon my head
I'd run inside and hide instead
Yeah I wish it would rain upon my head
'Til the sun shines my way
We signed up soon for all the clubs just me and my dad
Our feet were tied and arm and arm we jumped in the sack
We fell straight to the ground There was laughter all around
Now wearin' rings and passin' notes and holdin' hands
Goin' steady 'round the roller rink oh you're such a big man
I could feel all their eyes
Damn these butterflies won't end
Yeah I wish it would rain upon my head
I'd run inside and hide instead
Yeah I wish it would rain upon my head
I'm better off alone at home
Yeah I wish it would rain upon my head
Then I could spend all day in bed
Yeah I wish it would rain upon my head
'Til the sun shines my way
Run for cover on three
There you'll be safe from the storm but not from me
Tell me what's my next move
Haven't got a clue
I'm losin' you
Oh we grow up so fast
Seems everybody's got a test for me to pass
But all I need to be free lives inside of me
That's the key
Yeah I wish it would rain upon my head
And hide this trail of tears I shed
Yeah I wish it would rain upon my head
I'm better off alone at home
Yeah I wish it would rain upon my head
Then I could spend all day in bed
Yeah I wish it would rain upon my head
'Til the sun shines my way
