Lyrics for More Than Rain

It's more than rain that falls on our parade tonight It's more than thunder, it's more than thunder And it's more than a bad dream now that I'm sober Nothing but sad times, nothing but sad times None of our pockets are lined with gold Nobody's caught the bouquet There are no dead presidents we can fold Nothing is going our way And it's more than trouble I've got myself into It's more than woe-begotten grey skies now And it's more than a bad dream now that I'm sober There's no more dancing, there is no more dancing And it's more than trouble I've got myself into Nothing but sad times, nothing but sad times None of our pockets are lined with gold Nobody's caught the bouquet There are no dead presidents we can fold Nothing is going our way And it's more than goodbye I have to say to you It's more than woe-begotten grey skies now And it's more than goodbye I have to say to you It's more than woe-begotten grey skies now And it's more than woe-begotten grey skies now
