Nanci griffith i wish it would rain lyrics

by Nanci Griffith



Chorus:

    Oh I wish it would rain and 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



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

I want to find that love of 22 here at 33

I've got a heart on my right and one on my left

And neither suits my needs

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



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

I want to 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 as sweet as wine

    when your heart's rolling home in the wind
