No More Rain

When I was younger oh so much younger oh Lord how I loved the rain Well the thunder never scared me none oh no and the lightning good God only made me grin But like this big world I've grown older I'm paralyzed drunk rather learn to sink than swim And I'm lyin' on my back don't roll over cause a few more drops 'll do me in And I say Lord oh Lord oh Lord can you stop the rain And I say Lord oh Lord oh Lord can you stop the rain Now I hate to see the rain when the levy breaks its no longer a game The rivers overflow and the sewers come up from Hell It stains the walls of my house watch it rise above the trees The stink is great spreading carnage and disease And like this big world I've grown older I'm paralyzed drunk rather learn to sink than swim And I'm lyin' on my back don't roll over cause a few more drops and its the end I said I said Oh Lord oh Lord oh Lord can you stop the rain And I say Lord oh Lord oh Lord can you stop the rain If truth was everything we see and honesty was hatred Well then love would be the sky and not the sea But we've already destroyed both of them like greedy children that snatch up the seeds Tomorrow's not promised to them more like a promise under a Christmas tree So take it back now if you will close your eyes and its just a dream Hear the lies of lonely men and everything's just as it seems I'm lyin' on my back don't roll over cause a few more drops 'll do me in And I say Lord oh Lord oh Lord can you stop the rain And I say Lord oh Lord oh Lord can you stop the rain And I say love oh love oh love will you stop the rain And I say people people people aww come on people let's stop the rain
