It's a rain dirt town job hurts, but it don't pay
All these calls they're making me and driving you insane
Don't you see, don't you understand,
Waiting for the phone to ring to make me all I am.
You're in the suburbs, waiting for somewhere to go,
I'm down here working on some dumb show
In a Raintown, Raintown, rain down,
On all those tired eyes and tears and frowns
In a Raintown, Raintown, rain down,
On all those days you're not around.
It takes a big hearted girl from the north country, you can tell,
How you payed those bills and went through heaven and hell,
And you you cried and you travelled and you spat but you never asked,
Well, how long, how long, how long, is this pain
You're on for three minutes, trying hard to say "hello",
I'm down here working on some dumb show
In a Raintown, Raintown, rain down,
On all those tired eyes and tears and frowns
In a Raintown, Raintown, rain down,
On all those days you're not around.
Sitting at home, listening to your radio
Listening for your old friend talking on some dumb show
In a Raintown, Raintown, rain down,
On all those tired eyes and tears and frowns
In a Raintown, Raintown, rain down,
On all those days you're not around.
