Well its been rainin' on and on   Ever since you've been gone   Those dark clouds keep rollin' in   And every time I think I might catch myself a glimpse of sunlight   The bottom falls out again   Well I can barely keep afloat   I'm up the creek without a boat   And I've been adriftin' Heaven knows how long   'Cause it's been rainin' 40 days and 40 nights since you've been gone      Hey, well drip drip drip goes the sound of the rain   The four winds are blowin' like a hurricane   My friends said I should settle for any port in a storm   I'd rather be inside your lovin' arms   Safe and warm   Girl it's been a long time since I've seen sunshine   Baby won't you come back home   'Cause it's been rainin' 40 days and 40 night since you've been gone      Aw listen to me now   I keep starin' out the window   Searchin' for a rainbow   To signal that the storm will end   Hey, 'cause I know that the rain'll keep pourin' on the pane   Until my saint comes back marchin' in   Oh, girl its been a long time since I've seen sunshine   Baby won't you come back home   'Cause it's been rainin' 40 days and 40 nights since you've been gone   Hey, well drip drip drip goes the sound of the rain   The four winds are blowin' like a hurricane   My friends said I should settle for any port in a storm   I'd rather be inside your lovin' arms   Safe and warm   Girl it's been a long time since I've seen sunshine   Baby won't you come back home   'Cause its been rainin' 40 days and 40 night since you've been gone   Yeah its been rainin' 40 days and 40 nights since you've been gone
