40 Days And 40 Nights

(album: Not A Moment To Soon - 1994)

Well its been raining on and on
Ever since you've been gone
Those dark clouds keep rolling in
And every time I think I might catch myself a glimpse of sunlight
The bottom falls out again
Well I can barely keep afloat
I'm up the creek without a boat
And I've been adrifting Heaven knows how long
'Cause it's been raining 40 days and 40 nights since you've been gone

Hey, well drip drip drip goes the sound of the rain
The four winds are blowing like a hurricane
My friends said I should settle for any port in a storm
I'd rather be inside your loving 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 raining 40 days and 40 night since you've been gone

Aw 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'll keep pouring on the pane
Until my saint comes back marching in
Oh, girl its been a long time since I've seen sunshine
Baby won't you come back home
'Cause it's been raining 40 days and 40 nights since you've been gone
Hey, well drip drip drip goes the sound of the rain
The four winds are blowing like a hurricane
My friends said I should settle for any port in a storm
I'd rather be inside your loving arms
Safe and warm
Girl it's been a long time since I've seen sunshine
Baby won't you come back home
'Cause its been raining 40 days and 40 night since you've been gone
Yeah its been raining 40 days and 40 nights since you've been gone
