Raining in the City

Roy Wood

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
Close the door, it's raining in the city
So alone, though it doesn't really hit me
So is that the way I ought to feel?
Hit the road and get behind the wheel
Though it seems such a pity
And it's raining in the city

[Verse 2]
Lonely nights, driving down the streets again
Red taillights blinking through the drops of rain
Flashy signs on those familiar doors
City lights I should have seen before
How I wish you were with me
Though it's raining in the city

[Chorus]
Tonight, the rain will overflow
But only you could know
The shelter through your body close
Tonight, I search my heart in vain
To smile with you again
But didn't it rain?

[Verse 3]
Thundering, it's beating against the world today
I've earned my wish for getting in such a furnished lane
As you fish your wonders out of the rain
Rainy nights will never feel the same
Though it seems such a pity
It's still raining in the city

[Chorus]
Tonight, the people all belong
I watch them rushing home
To open arms that keep them warm
Tonight, the stars came tumbling down
And all my love was 'round
Oh, didn't it rain?

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 4]
Close the door, 'cause it's raining in the city
All the time, your smile is waiting with me
As you fish your wonders out of the rain
Rainy nights will never feel the same
Oh, it seems such a pity
That it's raining in the city

[Chorus]
Tonight, the rain will overflow
But only you could know
The shelter through your body close
Tonight, I search my heart in vain
To smile with you again
But didn't it rain?

[Outro]
It's raining in the city
It's raining in the city
