about

12. I WISH IT WOULD RAIN (Nanci Griffith)

"For many reasons, I was trying to involve my daughter Cecilia in the ‘Piedmont Brothers Band’ project. I always admired Nanci Griffith both as a singer and as a writer and this song perfectly suited my needs". (Marco Zanzi)

lyrics

I WISH IT WOULD RAIN
Nanci Griffith

Oh, I wish it would rain
And wash my face clean
I want to find some dark cloud to hide in here
Oh, love in a memory
Sparkled like diamonds
When the diamonds fall they burn like tears
When the diamonds fall they burn like tears

Once I had a love from Carolina pines
Who only cared for me
I wanna find that love of twenty-two
Here at thirty-three

I've got a heart on my right and one on my left
Neither suits my needs
No, the one I love lives a-way out West
And he never will need me

So, I wish it would rain
And wash my face clean
I want to find some dark cloud to hide in here
Oh, love in a memory
Sparkled like diamonds
When the diamonds fall they burn like tears
When the diamonds fall they burn like tears

I'm gonna pack up my two step shoes
And head for the Gulf Coast plains
I wanna walk the streets of my own hometown
Where everybody knows my name

I wanna ride the waves down in Galveston
When the hurricanes blow in
'cause that Gulf Coast water tastes sweet as wine
When your heart's rollin' home in the wind

And I wish it would rain
And wash my face clean
I want to find some dark cloud to hide in here
Oh, love in a memory
Sparkled like diamonds
When the diamonds fall they burn like tears
When the diamonds fall they burn like tears
When the diamonds fall, darlin', they burn like tears
