This is New York, yo   It's getting dark      Night falls on the city, finds me all alone   Makes me wonder should I just go on home   And I walk up the stairs to see if you're still there   Would you mind if I found you alone?      Then a cold wind came callin'   Strange how it knew [Incomprehensible]   See the night would fade but the pain's gonna stay   Makes me wonder have you ever made love to me      I can't stop the rain, here it comes again   Lightnin' strikes across the sky   Oh oh, I can't stop the rain, here it comes again   Lightnin' only blinds my eyes      Ain't it sad when the only love I ever had   Just slips away right through my fingers   Ain't it a shame when I think of your name   The only memory I have is pain      I can't stop the rain, here it comes again   Lightnin' strikes across the sky   Oh oh, I can't stop the rain, here it comes again   It takes a witch to curse that goddamn sky      I can't stop the rain, here it comes again   Lightnin' strikes across the sky   Oh oh, I can't stop the rain, here it comes again   'Cause lightnin' only blinds my eyes   Oh, I can't stop the rain, here it comes again   'Cause lightnin' only blinds my eyes      I can't stop it
