Lyrics

 * Rain is pourin' down like the heavens are hurtin'.
 * Seems like it's been dark since the devil knows when.
 * How do you go on, never knowin' for certain,
 * Will the sun ever shine again?


 * Feels like it's been years since it started to thunder.
 * Clouds are campin' out in the valley and glen.
 * How do you go on, when you can't help but wonder.
 * Will the sun ever shine again?


 * What if the rain keeps fallin'?
 * What if the sky stays gray?
 * What if the wind keeps squallin',
 * And never go away?


 * Maybe the soon the storm will be tired of blowin'.
 * Maybe soon it all will be over, amen.
 * How do you go on, if there's no way of knowin'?
 * Will the sun ever shine?
 * Wish I could say.
 * Send me a sign:
 * One little ray.
 * Lord, if you're list'nin', how long until then?
 * Will the sun ever shine again?
