What good is that happy lie
All you wanted from the start was to cry girl
It looks like another fall
Your friends don’t seem to help at all
When you’re feeling kind of cold and small
Call on your rainy day man
It does you no good to pretend girl
You’ve made a hole that’s much too big to mend
And it looks like you lose again, my friend
So call on your rainy day man
Now rainy day man he don’t like sunshine
He don’t chase rainbows
He don’t need good times
Grey days rolling
Then you’ll see him
Empty feeling
Now you need him
All those noble thoughts don’t belong
You can’t hide the truth with a happy song
And you knew where you stood all along
Call on your rainy day man
Now simple pleasures they all evade you
Store-bought treasures none can save you
Ask for signs to ease the pain
Ask again
Go on and pray for rain
It looks like another fall
Your friends don’t seem to help at all
When you’re feeling kind of cold and small
Call on your rainy day man
