Oh, I wish it would rain
And wash my face clean
I want to find some dark cloud to hide in here
Love in a memory
Sparkles like diamonds
When the diamonds fall they burn like tears

Once I had a love from the Georgia pines
Who only cared for me
I wanna find that love of twenty-two
Here at thirty-three
I've got a heart on my right
One on my left neither suits my needs
No, the one I love lives a-way out West
And he never will need me’

Oh, I wish it would rain
And wash my face clean
I want to find some dark cloud to hide in here
Love in a memory
Sparkles like diamonds
When the diamonds fall they burn like tears

I'm gonna pack up my two step shoes
And head for the Gulf Coast plain
I wanna walk the streets of my own hometown
Where everybody knows my name
I wanna ride the waves down in Galveston
When the hurricanes roll in
That Gulf Coast water tastes sweet as wine
When your heart's goin’ home in the wind
Oh, I wish it would rain
And wash my face clean
I want to find some dark cloud to hide in here
Love in a memory
Sparkles like diamonds
When the diamonds fall they burn like tears
When the diamonds fall they burn like tears
When the diamonds fall, darlin'
They burn like tears
