Thankful For The Rain

You say, "Hello", like a long lost friend
And play me like an old violin
In a day or two, you're gone again
And I wonder why I keep playin'I sit and watch the clouds each day
Wonderin' when they'll turn to gray
And you come and you go
Like a storm across the coast
And expect me to be thankful for the rainWell, I guess I should be thankful for
All the nights of straight downpours
I'm soakin' up every drop I get
'Cause who knows how long I'll have to wait
'Til you come blowin' back my way
I'm learnin' to be thankful for the rainI know when the mornin' comes
The truth will rise up like the sun
'Cause I'm cleanin' up the damage done
That's everything I pray for
