Well its been rainin` on and on 
Ever since you`ve been gone 
Those dark clouds keep rollin` in 
And every time I think I might catch myself a glimpse of sunlight 
The bottom falls out again 
Well I can barely keep afloat 
I`m up the creek without a boat 
And I`ve been a driftin` Heaven knows how long 
`Cause it`s been rainin` 40 days and a 40 nights since you`ve been gone 
Hey well drip drip drip goes the sound of the rain 
The four winds are blowin` like a hurricane 
My friends said I should settle for any port in a storm 
I`d rather be inside your lovin` arms 
Safe and warm 
Girl it`s been a long time since I`ve seen sunshine 
Baby won`t you come back home 
`Cause it`s been rainin` 40 days and a 40 night since you`ve been gone 
Aw listen to me now 
I keep starin` out the window 
Searchin` for a rainbow 
To signal that the storm will end 
Hey `cause I know that the rain`ll keep pourin` on the pane 
Until my saint comes back marchin` in 
Oh girl it`s been a long time since I`ve seen sunshine 
Baby won`t you come back home 
`Cause it`s been rainin` 40 days and 40 nights since you`ve been gone 
Hey, well drip drip drip goes the sound of the rain 
The four winds are blowin` like a hurricane 
My friends said I should settle for any port in a storm 
I`d rather be inside your lovin` arms 
Safe and warm 
Girl it`s been a long time since I`ve seen sunshine 
Baby won`t you come back home 
`Cause it`s been rainin` 40 days and a 40 nights since you`ve been gone 
Yeah it`s been rainin` 40 days and a 40 nights since you`ve been gone
