Rainy day blues
Benoit Tab Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Rainy in the afternoon
Cloudy in the mornin'
Rain in the afternoon
If you don't like this weather
Think you better pack your things and move
But if you're runnin' from it, brother
But if you're runnin' from it, brother
The only road that I can see
Is the road that leads to nowhere
And nowhere is a fool like me
Rain keep a fallin'
Fallin' 'round my window pane
Rain keep a fallin'
Fallin' 'round my window pane
Ain't never seen so much rainy weather
Guess I'll never see the sun again
Save those dimes and nickels
Save 'em for a rainy day
Save your dimes and nickels, baby
Save 'em all for a rainy day
It ain't gonna keep the rains from fallin'
Ah but at least you know you've paid your way

It's cloudy in the mornin'
The day started with some cloud cover
Rainy in the afternoon
It started raining in the afternoon
If you don't like this weather
In case you're not fond of this climate
Think you better pack your things and move
You should consider moving away
But if you're runnin' from it, brother
But if you're trying to escape it
The only road that I can see
The only way I can think of
Is the road that leads to nowhere
Is a way that will lead you to nowhere
And nowhere is a fool like me
And I am foolish enough to say that
Rain keep a fallin'
The rain keeps pouring non-stop
Fallin' 'round my window pane
Dropping around the glass on my window
Ain't never seen so much rainy weather
I've never seen weather like this before
Guess I'll never see the sun again
I doubt I will see sunshine anytime soon
Save those dimes and nickels
Wise to put aside your coins
Save 'em for a rainy day
Keep them for when you might need them
It ain't gonna keep the rains from fallin'
It won't stop the rain from coming
Ah but at least you know you've paid your way
But you will know that you have prepared for it
