Lyrics

Broken windows and empty hallways
A pale dead moon in a sky steeped with gray
And human kindness is overflowin'
And I think it's gonna rain today
Impressing, isn't it?
Scarecrows dressed in the latest styles
With frozen faces to keep love away
Human kindness is overflowin'
And I think it's gonna rain today
And I think it's gonna rain today, boy
I sense scarecrows dressed in the latest styles
With frozen faces to keep love away
Human kindness is overflowin'
And I just know it's gonna rain today
I hope it rains today
Well then, I hope it rains today
I'm so lonely
So lonely
So lonely, lonely as pedestal
So lonely
So lonely
Lonely, lonely as pedestal
So lonely
So lonely
Lonely, lonely as pedestal
Tin can at my feet
I think I'll kick it down the street
I said, tin can at my feet
I think I'll kick it down the street
That's the way to treat a friend
That's the way to treat a friend
Bright before me, the signs implore me
Help the needy and show them the way
That's right, to everyday
Human kindness is overflowin'
And I think it's gonna rain, yeah!
I think it's gonna rain, yeah!
I think it's gonna rain, today!
Ho-ho, today!
Ho-ho, today!
Ho-ho-ho, today!
