Karaoké I Wish It Would Rain Nanci Griffith

Oh I wish it would rain

Wash my face clean

I wanna find some dark cloud to hide in here

Oh love in a memory sparkled 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 wanna find that love of twenty-two here at thirty-three

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

No the one I love lives away out West and he never will need me

So I wish it would rain and wash my face clean

I wanna find some dark cloud to hide in here

Oh love in a memory sparkled like diamonds

When the diamonds fall they burn like tears

When the diamonds fall they burn like tears

I'm gonna pack up my two-steppin' shoes and head for the Gulf Coast plains

I wanna walk the streets of my own hometown where everybody knows my name

I wanna ride the waves down in Galveston when the hurricane's blowin'

'Cos that Gulf Coast water tastes sweet as wine when your heart's rollin' home in the wind

And I wish it would rain and wash my face clean

I wanna find some dark cloud to hide in here

Oh love in a memory sparkled like diamonds

When the diamonds fall they burn like tears

When the diamonds fall they burn like tears

When the diamonds fall darlin' they burn like tears
