Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh it's a happening thing, and it's happening to you
Full moon and thunder, ribbons of blue

[Verse 2]
Ice on the window, ice in my heart
Fooling with thunder, every time we start

[Bridge]
It's been raining for so long
It's been raining for so long

[Verse 3]
Oh is it any wonder, the streets are dark
Is it any wonder, we fall apart

[Verse 4]
Day after day strange rain falls down
All over town, rain come

[Bridge]
Oh, it's been raining for so long
It's been raining for so long

[Chorus]
Don't you go out in the rain
Don't go out in pouring rain
If you go out in the rain
We'll never have that time again

[Verse 2]
Is it any wonder, the streets are dark
Is it any wonder, we fall apart

[Verse 4]
All these feelings that seem so wrong
Remember when we were so strong

[Bridge 2]
Well it's been raining for so long
It's been raining I can't go on

[Chorus]
Don't you go out in the rain
Don't go out in pouring rain
If you go out in the rain
We'll never have that time again

[Chorus]
Don't you go out in the rain
Don't go out in the pouring rain
If you go out in the rain
We'll never have that time again

[Outro]
Don't you go out in the rain
