It Never Rains

Looking out my back door, sun beating down
Crops are wilting in the hardened ground
Silence between the walls
Heart as heavy as a cannonball

It never rains and love never lasts
When I want it to
You plant the seed, just to watch it die
Right in front of you

I went out on a limb
Talking to the bank, and letting you in
Looking like a clown
Couldn’t read the writing all over town

It never rains and love never lasts
When I want it to
You plant the seed, just to watch it die
Right in front of you

Those April showers are gone
And you left us all alone
Nothing ever grows in the dark
Except the weeds of your heart


And It never rains and love never lasts
When I want it to
I don't know why, I'd even try
Love's gonna die like it did with you.
