James Taylor - Rainy Day Man lyrics

What good is that happy lie<br>All you wanted from the start was to cry<br><br>It looks like another fall<br>Your good friends they don't seem to help at all<br>When you're feeling kind of cold and small<br>Just look up your rainy day man<br><br>It does you no good to pretend child<br>You've made a hole much too big to mend<br>And it looks like you lose again, my friend<br>Call on your rainy day man<br><br>Now rainy day man he don't like sunshine<br>He don't chase rainbows<br>He don't need good times<br>Grey days rolling<br>Then you'll see him<br>Empty feeling<br>Now you need him<br><br>All those noble thoughts they just don't belong<br>You can't hide the truth with a happy song<br>And since you knew where you stood all along<br>Just look up your rainy day man<br><br>Now simple pleasures they all evade you<br>Store-bought treasures none can save you<br>Look for signs to ease the pain<br>Ask again<br>Go on and pray for rain<br><br>It looks like another fall<br>Your good friends they don't seem to help at all<br>When you're feeling kind of cold and small<br>Just look up your rainy day man<br>All I need to do is look up my rainy day man<br><br>Now what good is that happy lie<br>All you wanted from the start was to cry
