This is New York, yo
It's getting dark

Night falls on the city, finds me all alone
Makes me wonder should I just go on home
And I walk up the stairs to see if you're still there
Would you mind if I found you alone?

Then a cold wind came callin'
Strange how it knew [Incomprehensible]
See the night would fade but the pain's gonna stay
Makes me wonder have you ever made love to me

I can't stop the rain, here it comes again
Lightnin' strikes across the sky
Oh oh, I can't stop the rain, here it comes again
Lightnin' only blinds my eyes

Ain't it sad when the only love I ever had
Just slips away right through my fingers
Ain't it a shame when I think of your name
The only memory I have is pain

I can't stop the rain, here it comes again
Lightnin' strikes across the sky
Oh oh, I can't stop the rain, here it comes again
It takes a witch to curse that goddamn sky

I can't stop the rain, here it comes again
Lightnin' strikes across the sky
Oh oh, I can't stop the rain, here it comes again
'Cause lightnin' only blinds my eyes
Oh, I can't stop the rain, here it comes again
'Cause lightnin' only blinds my eyes

I can't stop it
