Lyrics

Well tonight, oh it’s coming down
Sweeping across the Pontchartrain
Tapping on my rooftop
Calling out your name
There’s nothing like a love
That no longer feels the flame
And nothing sounds like teardrops
Like a Louisiana rain

My the air is heavy
With all that’s unexplained
Just hanging from my ceiling
Laying on the blame
If these clouds would just blow over
And all these thoughts would go away
Nothing’s quite as lonesome
As a Louisiana rain

Louisiana rain falling
Oh it’ll drive a man insane
Filling up my mind
But it won’t was away the pain
Tonight it might break me
Lord but come what may
Nothing lasts forever
But a Louisiana rain

That cool sweet smell
Comes cutting through the haze
Drifting on the breeze
Remembering those days
But then the thunder reminds me
That you won’t be coming back my way
Nothing can make a memory

Louisiana rain falling
Oh it’ll drive a man insane
Filling up my mind
But it won’t was away the pain
Tonight it might break me
Lord but come what may
Nothing lasts forever

Nothing lasts forever
Nothing lasts forever
But a Louisiana rain

Louisiana rain
Rain down
Louisiana rain
