If It Ever Stops Rainin' - Graham Parker

Written By：Graham Parker

I hear the whole East Coast is socked in

By a strong Northeaster's

And it doesn't look like it's gonna end real soon

You've been stuck up there in the mountains

While I been swannin' around the West Coast

But I'll swear I'm gonna make it back there soon yeah

And if it ever stops rainin'

If the sun ever breaks through and shines down from on high

I'll do all those things I keep complainin' that I'm not doin'

And I'll put my arms around you under the blue blue sky

Blue blue sky blue blue sky

Well the bus stops and the stations are all empty

The cab driver says my plane's delayed

But I'll give him a tip to button his lip

And get me to the airport

And I'll pay the pilot extra to get me on my way

And if it ever stops rainin'

If the sun

If the sun ever breaks through and shines down from on high

I'll do all those things you keep complainin' that I'm not doin'

And we'll walk outside together under the blue blue sky

Blue blue sky

So have patience dear have patience

I'm not making excuses

I hear the driveway got washed out

And the basement's sprung a leak

Yeah the fence posts are collapsing

And the stream has blown its sluices

But I'm coming back tomorrow

Or at least some time next week

And if it ever stops rainin'

If the sun ever breaks through and shines down from on high

I'll do all those things I keep complainin' that I'm not doin'

And I'll put my arms around you yeah I'll put my arms around you

Yeah I'll put my arms around you under the blue blue sky

Blue blue sky

If it ever stops rainin' blue blue sky

If it ever stops rainin' blue blue sky

Blue blue sky
