Tough Times

It's raining in my life lately
I'm wondering how that could be -
Sunny days used to come easily
Now what I need's someone to shelter me.
The storm is brewing in my brain
And last night I cried myself to sleep again
And I'm wondering how I can make it end
How will it end?
And will it rain again?

My life
Used to be a picnic, you could say.
I never even had to try,
Everything just kind of came my way.
Then one day that all changed
My life just seemed to get rearranged
Don't even know what happened
Or why, or why.

So can't someone tell me what I did wrong?
I've been trying to figure it out for so long
What did I do to bring this on?
I have to know, because . . .

It's raining in my life lately
I'm wondering how that could be -
Sunny days used to come easily
Now what I need's someone to shelter me
The storm is brewing in my brain
And last night I cried myself to sleep again
And I'm wondering how I can make it end
How will it end?
And will it rain again?

So now I'm standing on the edge looking down
(Looking down)
And I picture myself falling
(Falling down.)
And then I turn around
Hard as it is, I know I must go on
Even though it's
Even though . . .

It's raining in my life lately
I'm wondering how that could be -
Sunny days used to come easily
Now what I need's someone to shelter me.
The storm is brewing in my brain
And last night I cried myself to sleep again
And I'm wondering how I can make it end
How will it end?
And will it rain again?
