It Ain't The Wind, It's The Rain - Mary Gauthier

There’s a big storm a coming

Of this I’ve no doubt

That storm’s gonna blow your little world inside out

When the wild winds let up

When the violence wanes

You’ll think of me then, when you’re watching it rain

It ain’t the wind, it’s the rain

When the rain won’t stop falling

When the flood waters rise

When all that you’re sure of washes out with the tide

You’ll have no crazy lover there to make you look sane

You’ll think of me then, when you’re knee deep in rain

It ain’t the wind, it’s the rain

When rain fills the river and dark waters spill

Over the levee and rush down the hill

They’ll carry me with them

I won’t have to explain

There’ll be no confusion

There’ll only be rain

I was born lonesome, and I’m lonesome still

Ain’t nothing you done ever changed how I feel

When the storm clouds are building, when the deluge takes aim

I know what’s coming, I know the rain

I see what’s coming, I know the rain

It ain’t the wind, it’s the rain

It ain’t the wind, it’s the rain

It ain’t the wind, it’s the rain
