Lyrics
Morning rain keeps on falling
Like the tears that fall from my eyes
As I sit in my room
Staring out at the gloom
That's the rain in the same old blues
I can't help, I can't help but thinking
When the sun used to shine on my back door
Now the sun is turned to rain
All my laughter is turned to pain
Yes it's the same, the same old blues
Sunshine, sunshine is all you see now
But it all, it all looks like clouds by me
When I sit in my room
Staring out at the gloom
It's the rain, it's the same old blues
Yeah, yes it's the rain, it's the same old blues
Yeah, yes it's the rain, it's the same old blues
Songwriters: J.J. Cale
