On a Rainy Rainy Day

I was craving a little bit of you today,
On a rainy rainy day, 
I know, cliche...

Every thought bent on a heartbreak
I tell myself I should not stay
But we know as well as any
My thoughts I give away

On a rainy rainy day

I know you are a closed clam of a guy
You have got treasures to stash
And no unshiny penny is going to succeed
In opening your clasp
I get it
I've known it
I flinch and kick a rock with it

You are not as pretty
As my thoughts make you out to be
You are only a man in the land of infinity 
But today you are a thought
A thought that is here to stay

A thought that's here to stay
On a rainy rainy day
