Looking out my back door Sun beating down Crops are wilting In the hardened ground Silence between the walls Heart as heavy As a cannonball It never rains And love never lasts When I want it to You plant the seed Just to watch it die Right in front of you I went out on a limb Talking to the bank And letting you in Looking like a clown Couldn't read the writing All over town It never rains And love never lasts When I want it to You plant the seed Just to watch it die Right in front of you Those April showers are gone (Those April showers are gone) And you left us all alone (You left us all alone) Nothing ever grows in the dark (Nothing grows in the dark) Except the weeds of your heart And it never rains And love never lasts When I want it to I don't know why I even try Love's gonna die Like it did with you
