A black cat moans When he's burning with the fever A stray dog howls When he's lonely in the night A woman goes crazy With the though of retribution But, a man starts weeping When he's sick and tired of life I keep on dreaming dreams of tomorrow Feel I'm wasting my time Lighting candles in the wind, Always taking my chances On the promise of the future But, a heart full of sorrow Paints a lonely tapestry The sun is shining But, it's raining in my heart No one understands the heartache, No one feels the pain, Cause no one ever sees the tears When you're crying in the rain, When you're crying in the rain, Crying in the rain I can never deny All the sweet things I have tasted Tho' I've been mistreated I keep coming back for more, I know where I'm going There's no hope of absolution I can't seem to separate The good times from the bad The sun is shining But, it's raining in my heart No one understands the heartache, No one feels the pain, Cause no one ever sees the tears When you're crying in the rain, When you're crying in the rain, When you're crying in the rain, When you're crying in the rain The sun is shining But, it's raining in my heart No one understands the heartache, No one feels the pain, Cause no one ever sees the tears When you're crying in the rain, When you're crying in the rain, When you're crying in the rain, When you're crying in the rain Crying in the rain
