Lyrics for Song: Shame on the Rain
Lyrics for Album: Ballad of Forty Dollars [Mercury] [1969]
(Tom T. Hall)
"I wrote that on a rainy day. The thing about rain is, like tap water, you'd
like to turn it on and off, but you can't do it."
Shame on the rain for making me twice as blue
It's raining in my heart on my window too
Days just like this have put out the flame
I've got that smoke in my eyes, shame on the rain.
You'd think it's enough just to know that she's gone
With my kind of luck it will rain from now on
After I'd lost such a heartbreaking game
You'd think the sun would shine, shame on the rain.
--- Instrumental ---
Shame on the rain for adding to my unrest
She took the sun it figures I guess
I have my share of sorrow and pain
Look what a day it is, shame on the rain.
Look what a day it is, shame on the rain...
