A black cat moans when he’s burning with the fever A stray dog howls when he’s lonely in the night A woman goes crazy with the thoughts of retribution Then a man starts weeping when he’s sick and tired of life I keep on dreaming dreams of tomorrow Feel I’m wasting my time lighting candles in the wind Always taking my chances on the promise of the future That a heart full of sorrow paints a lonely tapestry The sun is shining Ooh, but it’s raining in my heart No one understands the heartache No one feels the pain No one ever sees the tears When you’re crying in the rain When you’re crying in the rain Crying in the rain I can never deny all the sweet things I’ve tasted Though I’ve been mistreated, I keep coming back for more, more, more I know where I’m going, there’s no hope of absolution I can’t seem to separate the good times from the bad The sun is shining Ooh baby, it’s still raining in my heart In my heart No one understands the heartache No one feels the pain No one ever sees the tears When you’re crying in the rain When you’re crying in the rain When you’re crying in the rain When you’re crying in the rain, no, no, no The sun is shining But it’s raining in my heart No one understands the heartache No one feels the pain No one ever sees the tears When you’re crying in the rain When you’re crying in the rain When you’re crying in the rain When you’re crying in the rain Crying in the rain Crying in the rain
Crying in the Rain is a song by Whitesnake. The song was originally released on the group’s 1982 album Saints & Sinners, but was re-recorded on the group’s 1987 multi-platinum album Whitesnake. The song was inspired by singer David Coverdale’s divorce.
