Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Why did the rain go away
Was it something I said
Counting the minutes of the day
Till the sun goes to bed
Stubborn cloud, I watch you rolling past
What would it take for you to cry at last
Don't be afraid to let your feelings show
If we dry up, then we won't grow
Should I tell you a story to make you sad
I've seen my share of pain
You've stolen the joy that I had
Every last drop down the drain
[Chorus]
Isn't the load that you cary heavy
Isn't it time to let it down already
