David Lee Murphy - Thankful for the Rain lyrics

[Verse 1] You say, "Hello", like a long lost friend And play me like an old violin In a day or two, you're gone again And I wonder why I keep playin' [Verse 2] I sit and watch the clouds each day Wonderin' when they'll turn to gray And you come and you go, like a storm across the coast And expect me to be thankful for the rain [Bridge] Well, I guess I should be thankful for All the nights of straight downpours I'm soakin' up every drop I get 'Cause who knows how long I'll have to wait 'Til you come blowin' back my way I'm learnin' to be thankful for the rain [Verse 3] I know when the mornin' comes The truth will rise up like the sun 'Cause I'm cleanin' up the damage done That's everything I prayed for [Outro] You come and you go, like a storm across the coast And expect me to be thankful for the rain
