Graham Parker If It Ever Stops Rainin` Lyrics

If It Ever Stops Rainin` Lyrics

I hear the whole East Coast is socked in

By a strong Northeaster's

And it doesn't look like it's gonna end real soon



You've been stuck up there in the mountains

While I been swannin' around the West Coast

But I'll swear I'm gonna make it back there soon, yeah



And if it ever stops rainin'

If the sun ever breaks through and shines down from on high

I'll do all those things, I keep complainin' that I'm not doin'

And I'll put my arms around you under the blue blue sky

Blue blue sky, blue blue sky



Well, the bus stops and the stations are all empty

The cab driver says my plane's delayed

But I'll give him a tip to button his lip and get me to the airport

And I'll pay the pilot extra to get me on my way



And if it ever stops rainin'

If the sun ever breaks through and shines down from on high

I'll do all those things, you keep complainin' that I'm not doin'

And we'll walk outside together under the blue blue sky

Blue blue sky



So have patience, dear, have patience

I'm not making excuses

I hear the driveway got washed out

And the basement's sprung a leak



Yeah, the fence posts are collapsing

And the stream has blown its sluices

But I'm coming back tomorrow

Or at least some time next week



And if it ever stops rainin'

If the sun ever breaks through and shines down from on high

I'll do all those things, I keep complainin' that I'm not doin'

And I'll put my arms around you, yeah, I'll put my arms around you

Yeah, I'll put my arms around you under the blue blue sky

Blue blue sky



If it ever stops rainin', blue blue sky

If it ever stops rainin', blue blue sky

Blue blue sky, blue blue sky
