I Wish It Would Rain Lyrics - From A Distance - Nanci Griffith

Oh, I wish it would rain, it's gonna wash my face clean 

I wanna find some dark cloud to hide in here 

Oh, love and a memory sparkle like diamonds 

When the diamonds fall they burn like tears 

When the diamonds fall they burn like tears 

Once I had a love from the Georgia Pines who only cared for me 

I want to find that love of twenty-two here at thirty-three 

I've got a heart on my right and one on my left, it neither suits my needs 

No, the one I love is way out West and he never will need me 

So I wish it would rain and gonna wash my face clean 

I want to find some dark cloud to hide in here 

Oh, love and a memory sparkle like diamonds 

When the diamonds fall they burn like tears 

When the diamonds fall they burn like tears 

Gonna pack up my two-step shoes 

And head for the Gulf Coast plains 

I wanna walk the streets of my own home town 

Where everybody knows my name 

I want to ride a ways down to Galveston 

When the hurricanes blow in 

'Cause that Gulf Coast water tastes sweet as wine 

When your heart's rolling home in the wind 

And I wish it would rain and gonna wash my face clean 

I wanna find some dark cloud to hide in here 

Oh, love and a memory sparkle like diamonds 

When the diamonds fall they burn like tears 

When the diamonds fall they burn like tears 

When the diamonds fall they burn like a tear
