remember when those dark clouds filled up the sky
and the buckeye leaves turned over on their backsides
old men might be complaining about trick knees
i’d be smiling at you and you’d smile back at me
just before it started pouring we’d rush indoors
get out the matches and the candles, put pillows on the floor
we’d listen to the water beat against that window pane
you and me baby we were right as rain
you and me baby we were right as rain
and ever since you left it just ain’t the same when it rains
i’ve never known nothing like a thunderstorm kiss
you feel the ground beneath you moving from the lightning on your lips
everything turns dark then everything’s light
you end up somewhere in the middle for the rest of your life
i might go on forever trying to figure you out
are you still looking out of windows and wishing on clouds like i am
i don’t know what happened but i sure feel the pain
each time i hear those raindrop rhythms baby we were right as rain
you and me baby we were right as rain
and ever since you left it just ain’t the same when it rains
