Well the rain came down on Elgin Ave
And the faces on the bus look sad,
As the man with the umbrella hails a ca
And the sky is looking mean and grey,
And tomato is the soup today
As the homeless lay out plastic on the ground
She takes this chance to start anew,
With a hotel sample free shampoo
And her hair is hold and baby blue
Rain, rain, don't go away
I'm glad you came I hope you stay,
And you couldn't have come on a better day
Now the rain floods my flowerbed,
And the garbage can with the missing lid
They blame it on those no-good meddling kids
She can't be more than seventeen,
And sleeping in a bank machine
And beating up an old tambourine
While the old man strums an old guitar,
A silvertone with a whammy bar
As someone shouts insults from their car
Rain, rain, don't go away
I'm glad you came and I hope you stay,
And you couldn't of come on a better day
My kitchen window leads to the roof,
Where nothing's safe or waterproof
And it feels like a giant pirate ship
And the barber sweeps up all the hair,
And he falls asleep in his barber's chair
And the smell of disinfectant fills the air
The old man finds a cigarette,
By the pharmacy at Somerset
And he's standing there all soaking wet
Rain, rain, don't go away,
Im glad you came and I hope you stay
And you couldn' have come on a better day,
I couldn't be any wetter
You couldn't have come on a better day
