I Wish It Would Rain (Album Version) - Nanci Griffith

Oh I wish it would rain it's gonna wash my face clean

I wanna find some dark cloud to hide in here

Oh love and a memory sparkle 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 Pans who only cared for me

I want to find that love of twenty-two here at thirty-three

I've got a heart on my right and one on my left it neither suits my needs

No the one I love is way out West and he never will need me

So I wish it would rain and gonna wash my face clean

I want to find some dark cloud to hide in here

Oh love and a memory sparkle like diamonds

When the diamonds fall they burn like tears

When the diamonds fall they burn like tears

Gonna pack up my two-step shoes

And head for the Gulf Coast plains

I wanna walk the streets of my own home town

Where everybody knows my name

I want to ride a ways down to Galveston

When the hurricanes blow in

'Cause that Gulf Coast water tastes sweet as wine

When your heart's rolling home in the wind

And I wish it would rain and gonna wash my face clean

I wanna find some dark cloud to hide in here

Oh love and a memory sparkle like diamonds

When the diamonds fall they burn like tears

When the diamonds fall they burn like tears

When the diamonds fall they burn like a tear
