(Oh) Like April Showers on the slick cement

When I consider how our light is spent
Keeping the candles inside the cathedrals
Hold on tight, Don't go into the night
So full of evil, evil

(Chorus)
Rain rain don't go away
(Oh) We need you this dry and dusty day
Rain rain don't go away
Though some may say please go away

(Oh) Like the April Showers on the slick cement

And the roads once straight have now become so bent
Weaving through the trees of vain security
Rounding round the hard rocks of hard morality

(Chorus) x 2

And the sacred cows
Feed on the green
While the least of these
Are dying in the streets
And they're crying

(Chorus) x 2

(Oh) Like April Showers on the slick cement
