When the dark clouds return
There's a lesson for us all to be learned
When you're sitting inside of your house
And are you never ever coming out
And you've saved and stashed away
For tomorrow's a rainier day
Oh we'll just curse at the clouds from hell
While the rain goes on drawing my will

Chorus

When the dark clouds return
They'll hang over my head
Is the sun and the moon
Obscured by the clouds
Or is it my heart instead
When the dark clouds return

Is the world turning upside down
Where the rocks rain up from the ground
And you walk on the sky below
As the dark casts a lighter shadow
Well I'm just glad that I don't live there
Cause if I did well I'd haven't a prayer
So I'll just curse at the clouds from hell
While the rain goes on drawing my will

(chorus)

The moon rise
Brushes up to my chest
And slowly up to my eyes

Oh it's a well known fact
That it can rain for many days
Weeks or months around these parts
So all you people
Better hang on to your homes
Your children and your hearts

They'll hang over my head
Is the sun and the moon
Obscured by the clouds
Or is it my heart instead
When the dark clouds return

When the dark clouds return
There's a lesson for us all to be learned
When you're sitting inside of your house
And are you never ever coming out
And you've saved and stashed away
For tomorrow's a rainier day
Well we can curse at the clouds from hell
While the rain goes on drawing my will

(chorus)

When the dark clouds return
When the dark clouds return
When the dark clouds return
When the dark clouds return
When the dark clouds return
When the dark clouds return
When the dark clouds return
When the dark clouds return
