ever since you went away
the sun hasn't been out to shine
and clouds they been dropping their blues on me
and rainy day blues are mine

and i don't care how far you roam
just as long as you come back home
with those words of iron
forged by the fire
in the heart of a lonely man

i've been wanting to tell you

that its rained ever day that you've been away
clouds are crying and I'm surviving
thinking about you down in old mexico
i'm thinking about you down in old mexico

i know that the rain it doesn't last forever
and seasons they keep rolling on
and absence doesn't make every heart grown fonder
the sun shines so bright in the mexican sky

and i don't care how far you roam
i don't care if you never come home
with those words of iron
forged by the fire
in the heart of a lonely man

i've been wanting to tell you

that its rained ever day that you've been away
clouds are crying and I'm surving
thinking about you down in old mexico
i'm thinking about you down in old mexico
