This is New York, yo

Night falls on the city

Finds me all alone

Makes me wonder

Should I just go on home

And I walk up the stairs

To see if you're sill there

Would you mind if

I found you alone

Then a cold wind came callin'

Strange how it knew it'd bother me

See the night would fade

But the pain's gonna stay

Makes me wonder

Have you ever made love to me

I can't stop the rain, here it comes again

Lightnin' strikes across the sky

Oh, I can't stop the rain, here it comes again

Lightnin' only blinds my eyes

Ain't it sad

When the only love I ever had

Just slips away

Right through my fingers

Ain't it a shame when I think of your name

The only memory I have is it

I can't stop the rain, here it comes again

Lightnin' strikes across the sky

Oh, I can't stop the rain, here it comes again

It takes a witch to curse that goddamn sky

I can't stop the rain, here it comes again

Lightnin' strikes across the sky

Oh, I can't stop the rain, here it comes again

'Cause lightnin' only blinds my eyes

Oh, I can't stop the rain, here it comes again

'Cause lightnin' only blinds my eyes

Can't stop it, blinds my eyes
