[Verse 1] Well it's been rainin' on and on, ever since you've been gone Those dark clouds keep rollin' in And every time I think I might catch myself a glimpse of sunlight The bottom falls out again [Verse 2] Well I can barely keep afloat, I'm up the creek without a boat And I've been a-driftin' Heaven knows how long 'Cause it's been rainin' 40 days And the 40 nights since you've been gone [Pre-Chorus] Hey, well drip, drip, drip, goes the sound of the rain The four winds are blowin' like a hurricane My friends said I should settle for any port in a storm I'd rather be inside your lovin' arms, safe and warm [Chorus] Girl it's been a long time since I've seen sunshine Baby won't you come back home 'Cause it's been rainin' 40 days And the 40 nights since you've been gone Aw listen to me now [Verse 3] I keep starin' out the window, searchin' for a rainbow To signal that the storm will end Hey, 'cause I know that the rain will keep pourin' on the pane Until my saint comes back marchin' in [Chorus] Oh, girl it's been a long time since I've seen sunshine Baby won't you come back home 'Cause it's been rainin' 40 days And the 40 nights since you've been gone [Pre-Chorus] Hey, well drip, drip, drip, goes the sound of the rain The four winds are blowin' like a hurricane My friends said I should settle for any port in a storm I'd rather be inside your lovin' arms, safe and warm [Chorus] Girl it's been a long time since I've seen sunshine Baby won't you come back home 'Cause it's been rainin' 40 days And the 40 nights since you've been gone [Outro] Yeah it's been rainin' 40 days And the 40 nights since you've been gone
