I was promised rain
Not just a sprinkle
But a downpour
Of Biblical fame
I was promised rain
But like your promise
Of forever
The forecast changed
I was promised rain
I was promised rain
I was promised rain
A proper soaking
That was sure to last
Throughout the day
I was promised rain
Now all I'm left with
Are these blue skies which mock my pain
I was promised rain
I was promised rain
The weatherman assured me
Today would be the day
That I could venture forth outside
Without worry about the looks
On the faces of the people that I meet
When they see the shame that I can't hide
I was promised rain
So since you ask me why I
Stand before you crying
My actions can be
Easily explained
I was promised rain
I was promised rain
I was promised rain
I was promised rain
