[Verse 1]
An old preacher holds on to a Bible
A small child sings "The Water Is Wide"
I stand like stone all alone outside their circle
A faithless man, a fast left hand, and a hole inside
[Verse 2]
Her golden hair shined like sunlight Sunday morning
A band of gold was never placed on her left hand
Now they tell me that a band of angels
Waits to receive her in some distant land
[Chorus]
It's a cold dark rain that keeps on fallin'
On the just as well as the unjust
Yet the sun, you see, it also rises
If it don't, blame it on a lack of trust
[Verse 3]
Now the preacher tells me of a promise
Of a heaven, an everlasting love
But his words to me now are of little comfort
As I see her lying there, just the sky above
[Chorus]
It's a cold dark rain that keeps on fallin'
On the just as well as the unjust
Yet the sun, you see, it also rises
If it don't, blame it on a lack of trust
[Chorus]
It's a cold dark rain that keeps on fallin'
On the just as well as the unjust
Yet the sun, you see, it also rises
If it don't, blame it on a lack of trust
If it don't, just blame it on a lack of trust
