Rainy Day People
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.
Rainy day people always seem to know when it's time to call.
Rainy day people don't talk
they just listen till they've heard it all.
Rainy day lovers don't lie when they tell you
they've been down like you.
Rainy day people don't mind if you're cryin' a tear or two.
If you get lonely, all you really need is that rainy day love.
Rainy day people all know there's no sorrow
they can't rise above.
Rainy day lovers don't love any others
that would not be kind.
Rainy day people all know how it hangs
on their peace of mind.
(Lead break)
Rainy day lovers don't lie when they tell you
they've been down there, too.
Rainy day people don't mind if you're cryin' a tear or two.
Rainy day people always seem to know
when you're feelin' blue
I steps and stutters around in the gutters
sometimes need one, too.
Take it or leave it or try to believe it,
f you've been down too long,
Rainy day lovers don't hide love inside, they just pass it on.
Rainy day lovers don't hide love inside, they just pass it on.
