Hey, well drip, drip, drip, goes the sound of the rain
Baby, won't you come back home
And the 40 nights since you've been gone
'Cause it's been rainin' 40 days
Hey 'cause I know that the rain'll keep pourin' on the pane
'Cause it's been rainin' 40 days
And 40 the nights since you've been gone

The bottom falls out again
I'd rather be inside your lovin' arms, safe and warm
My friends said I should settle for any port in a storm
'Cause it's been rainin' 40 days

And the 40 nights since you've been gone
And every time I think
I'd rather be inside your lovin' arms, safe and warm
Girl, it's been a long time since I've seen sunshine
I keep starin' out the window

Girl, it's been a long time since I've seen sunshine
Baby won't you come back home
Those dark clouds keep rollin' in
And the 40 night since you've been gone
Well, I can barely keep afloat
I'm up the creek without a boat

Until my saint comes back marchin' in
My friends said I should settle for any port in a storm
I might catch myself a glimpse of sunlight

To signal that the storm will end
Hey, well drip, drip, drip, goes the sound of the rain
Aw, listen to me now
But baby won't you come back home
The four winds are blowin' like a hurricane
The four winds are blowin' like a hurricane
And I've been a driftin' heaven knows how long
Oh, girl it's been a long time since I've seen sunshine
And the 40 nights since you've been gone
'Cause it's been rainin' 40 days
Yeah, it's been rainin' 40 days
Searchin' for a rainbow
