Rain Everyday

from Ghost of Summers Past by Jason Wilber

/

lyrics

They pulled into town early one cold Saturday
The clouds were raining and the sky was grey
He looked at his new bride, Lucy was her name
She surveyed the small grey town, smiled and didn’t complain

And the rain kept falling

Lucy did her best to make their little house a home
He looked for work during the day and he left her there alone
One night he came home and said I found a job
Lucy by the window, watching the rain, began to sob
She said

I don’t wanna live here if it’s gonna rain everyday
He said oh it’s probably just temporary
I’m sure it’ll get better any day

But the rain kept falling
And the years crept right through their back door
Late one autumn
Lucy gave life to their first boy

The boy grew up poor he never knew nothing else
Her husbands gone now, and Lucy makes the living herself
When the boy was grown he stopped and he took a look around
Watched his Mama working so hard and asked her with a frown

Why do we live her Mama it rains everyday
Lucy said, oh it’s probably just temporary
I’m sure it’ll get better any day

But the rain kept falling
And Lucy smiled with bright and shining eyes
She never would give up
She found a way to make her own sunshine

She said, son if you never give up
You’ll find a way to make your own sunshine

But the rain kept falling
As Lucy said with bright and shining eyes
The secret, Son, is never give up [The secret’s never to give up]
You’ll find a way to make your own sunshine
