Lyrics
I Always Cry When It Rains
When Daddy passed mom faded fast
The time came for a nursing home
A steady rain fell as she left
Her tears told me how she felt
Her lonely eyes begged in vain
I always cry when it rains
Chorus
Storm clouds gather
Darkness fills the sky
I smell the rain in the distance
The fragrance of goodbye
I take the wash in off the line
As I struggle with the pain
I close the windows and sit on the porch
I always cry when it rains
I hold her near and wipe my tears
She doesn't even know me
Her new home is a quiet place
She always stares into space
Rain runs down her window panes
I always cry when it rains.
Chorus
Storm clouds gather
Darkness fills the sky
I smell the rain in the distance
The fragrance of goodbye
I take the wash in off the line
As I struggle with the pain
I close the windows and sit on the porch
I always cry when it rains
Bridge
A haunting breeze brushed my face
As my tears fell on her grave
Chorus
Storm clouds gather
Darkness fills the sky
I smell the rain in the distance
The fragrance of goodbye
I take the wash in off the line
As I struggle with the pain
I close the windows and sit on the porch
I always cry when it rains
