Maybe I should have saved those leftover dreams
Funny but here's that rainy day
Here's that rainy day they told me about
And I laughed at the thought that it might turn out this way

Where's that worn-out wish that I threw aside
After it brought my lover near
Oh, funny how love becomes a cold rainy day
Funny that rainy day is here

Where's that worn-out wish that I threw aside
After it brought my lover near
Oh funny how love becomes a cold rainy day
Funny that rainy day is here

Where is that worn-out wish that I threw aside
After it brought my lover near
Say it's funny how love becomes a cold rainy day
Funny that rainy day is here
