40 Days and 40 Nights

[Verse 1]
Well it’s been rainin' on and on, ever since you've been gone
Those dark clouds keep a-rollin' in
And every time I think I might catch myself a glimpse of sunlight
The bottom falls out again

[Verse 2]
Well I can barely keep afloat, I'm up the creek without a boat
And I've been a-driftin' Heaven knows how long
'Cause it's been rainin' 40 days
And the 40 nights since you've been gone

[Pre-Chorus]
Hey, well, drip, drip, drip, goes the sound of the rain
The four winds are blowin' like a hurricane
My friends said I should settle for any port in a storm
I'd rather be inside your lovin' arms, safe and warm

[Chorus]
Girl, it's been a long time since I've seen sunshine
Baby, won't you come back home
'Cause it's been rainin' 40 days
And the 40 nights since you've been gone

Aw, listen to me now

[Verse 3]
I keep starin' out the window, searchin' for a rainbow
To signal that the storm will end
Hey, 'cause I know that the rain will keep pourin' on the pane
Until my saint comes back marchin' in

[Chorus]
Oh, girl, it’s been a long time since I've seen sunshine
Baby, won't you come back home
'Cause it's been rainin' 40 days
And the 40 nights since you've been gone

[Pre-Chorus]
Hey, well, drip, drip, drip, goes the sound of the rain
The four winds are blowin' like a hurricane
My friends said I should settle for any port in a storm
I'd rather be inside your lovin' arms, safe and warm

[Chorus]
Girl, it's been a long time since I've seen sunshine
Baby, won't you come back home
'Cause it's been rainin' 40 days
And the 40 nights since you've been gone

[Outro]
Yeah, it’s been rainin' 40 days
And the 40 nights since you've been gone
