ever since you went away   the sun hasn't been out to shine   and clouds they been dropping their blues on me   and rainy day blues are mine      and i don't care how far you roam   just as long as you come back home   with those words of iron   forged by the fire   in the heart of a lonely man      i've been wanting to tell you      that its rained ever day that you've been away   clouds are crying and I'm surviving   thinking about you down in old mexico   i'm thinking about you down in old mexico      i know that the rain it doesn't last forever   and seasons they keep rolling on   and absence doesn't make every heart grown fonder   the sun shines so bright in the mexican sky      and i don't care how far you roam   i don't care if you never come home   with those words of iron   forged by the fire   in the heart of a lonely man      i've been wanting to tell you      that its rained ever day that you've been away   clouds are crying and I'm surving   thinking about you down in old mexico   i'm thinking about you down in old mexico
