Lyrics

Words by TOM WAITS

She took all my money
And my best friend
You know the story
Here it comes again
I have no pride
I have no shame
You got to
Make it
Make it
Make it Rain

Since you're gone
Deep inside it hurts
I'm just another sad guest
On this dark Earth
I wanna believe
In the mercy of the World again
Make it rain
Make it rain
Make it Rain

This Night's too quiet
Stretched out alone
I need the whip of thunder
And the winds dark moan
I wanna be Abel
But I'm just Cain
Open up the Heavens
Make it rain

I'm close to Heaven
Crushed at the gate
They sharpen their knives
On my mistakes
What she done
You can't give it a name
You got to make it rain
Mama mama mama mama mama mama make it rain

Without her love
Without your kiss
Hell can't burn me
More than this
I'm burning with all this pain
Put out the fire
And make it rain

I'm born to trouble
Born to fate
Inside a promise
I can't escape
It's the same old World
But nothin' looks the same
Make it rain
Make it rain
