No Stranger To The Rain.
Lyrics: American singer and songwriter Sonny Curtis.

No Stranger To The Rain.
I’m no stranger to the rain,
I’m a friend of thunder,
Friend, is it any wonder lightning strikes me?
I’ve fought with the devil,
Got down on his level,
But never gave in, so he gave up on me.
I’m no stranger to the rain,
I can spot bad weather,
And I’m good at finding shelter in a downpour.
I’ve been sacrificed by brothers,
Crucified by lovers,
Through it all, I withstood the pain.
I’m no stranger to the rain.
When I get that foggy feeling,
The one I’m feeling now,
If I don’t keep my head, I may drown,
It’s hard to keep believing,
I’ll even come out even,
While the rain beats a hole in the ground,
And tonight, it’s really coming down.
I’m no stranger to the rain,
There’ll always be tomorrow,
And I’ll beg, steal, or borrow a little sunshine.
I’ll put this cloud behind me,
That’s how the man designed me,
To ride the wind and dance in a hurricane,
I’m no stranger to the rain.
I’m no stranger to the rain,
I’m a friend of thunder,
Friend, is it any wonder lightning strikes me?
I’ll put this cloud behind me,
That’s how the man designed me,
To ride the wind and dance in a hurricane.
I’m no stranger to the rain.
I’m no stranger to the rain.
END
