Cry Like A Rainstorm
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
life isn't easy, love never lasts
you just carry on and keep moving fast
I pulled off the highway and rolled into town
I'm just fancy free baby and I travel 'round
sometimes I'm up, sometimes down
where can I run to
how have I sinned
when you cry like a rainstorm
and you howl like the wind
my thoughts are filled with memories
and they won't let me be
but if all the stars are shining bright
well they would not let me see
it's cold and the rain keeps blowing
it's tearing through the town
but I'm still fancy free darlin'
and I travel round
sometimes I'm up, sometimes down
where can I run to
how have I sinned
when you cry like a rainstorm
and you howl like the wind
sometimes I'm up most times down
where can I run to
tell me how have I sinned
when you cry like a rainstrom
and you howl like the wind
who can I turn to
tell me where to begin
when you cry like a rainstorm
and you howl like the wind
when you cry like a rainstorm
and you howl like the wind
