Shannon Leigh Reynolds - I Wish It Would Rain

I Wish It Would Rain
Written by Nanci Griffith

Oh, I wish it would rain
And wash my face clean
I want to find some dark cloud to hide in here
Oh, love in a memory
Sparkles like diamonds
When the diamonds fall, they burn like tears
When the diamonds fall, they burn like tears

Once I had a love from the Georgia pines
Who only cared for me
I wanna find that love of twenty-two
Here at thirty-three
I've got a heart on my right
And one on my left neither suits my needs
No, the one I love is way out West
But he never will need me

So I wish it would rain
And wash my face clean
I want to find some dark cloud to hide in here
Oh, love in a memory
Sparkles like diamonds
When the diamonds fall, they burn like tears
When the diamonds fall, they burn like tears

I'm gonna pack up my two-steppin’ shoes
And head to the Gulf Coast plains
I wanna walk the streets of my own hometown
Where everybody knows my name
I wanna ride the waves down in Galveston
When the hurricane blow in
'Cause that Gulf Coast water tastes sweet as wine
When your heart's rollin' home in the wind

So, I wish it would rain
And wash my face clean
I want to find some dark cloud to hide in here
Oh, love in a memory
Sparkles like diamonds
When the diamonds fall, they burn like tears
When the diamonds fall, they burn like tears
When the diamonds fall, darlin'
They burn like tears
