Baby, what do you say when love comes down on you   Rainin' the blues on you like it's never gonna end on you   And all your dreams like leaves in the gutter go floatin' by   No, baby, I don't know why all God's children cry      I'll miss your skin, as golden as your wheatfield hair   And where you go I hope you find out there      A better rain   The kind that comes in off the coast and paints the sky   Lets you know that God's alive      A better rain   That'll wash me from your eyes so you can smile again   And be all right again in a better rain      Someday is gonna find you in a sweeter place   Long after time has erased all the words like razor blades   You'll remember you and me before the flood   Once upon a time in love, a beautiful us      I can see you on some stretch of sand   Spinnin' 'round in circles barefoot dancin' in      A better rain   That'll leave behind a rainbow in the sky   Lets you know that God's alive      A better rain   That'll wash me from your eyes so you can smile again   And be all right again in a better rain      A better rain   That'll leave behind rainbow in the sky   Lets you know that God's alive in a better rain   A better rain, a better rain   A better rain
