Shame on the Rain

(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.

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...
