Crying In The Rain


[by David Coverdale (Whitesnake)]
[Bonus track]

A black cat moans
When he's burning with the fever
A stray dog howls
When he's lonely in the night
A woman goes crazy
With the thought of retribution
But a man starts weeping
Whe he's sick and tired of life

I keep on dreaming dreams of tomorrow
Feel I'm wasting my time
Lighting candles in the wind
Always taking my chances
On the promise of the future
But a heart full of sorrow
Paints a lonely tapestry

The sun is shining
But it's raining in my heart

No one understands the heartache
No one feels the pain
'Cos no one ever sees the tears
When you're crying in the rain

I can never deny
All the sweet things I have tasted
Tho' I've been mistreated
I keep coming back for more
I know where I'm going
There's no hope of absolution
I can't seem to separate
The good times from the bad
