"It always rains here"

It was the day I always waited for
My wedding day
I looked just like I always dreamed I would
And my biggest fear
Was not of cold feet
But wet feet
Because you see
It always rains here

It was the day after the big day
Culture pressed at my feet
As I awaken the smells of Japan
And I again had to remember to
Grab my umbrella
Because you see
It always rains here

It was the day I knew would change my life forever
The first cry was music to my ears
As I had 2,3,4 kids pressed to my side
Their first purchase was always a raincoat
Because you see
It always rains here

It was the day I had thought I wanted
Silence and only the company of my husband
The kids had kids and I now only have
The Tuesday bingo nights
That I shared with my poncho
Because you see
It always rains here

It was the day nobody wants and nobody dreams of
I laid in the hospital bed with gifts on my table And my hand in his
But not a raincoat, poncho, umbrella, in sight
Because you see
I don't think it rains there

Because you see
It always rains here
