A black cat moans, when he's burning with the fever
A stray dog howls, when he's lonely in the night
A woman goes crazy, with the thought of retribution

This represents the main riff in the tune. It's played with
mondo-fuzz. All notes are lightly damped except the D
and C# on the 5th string, which are pinched to the point
of squealing. At this point its repeated six times: twice
alone and four times under the lyrics.

I keep on dreaming the dreams of tomorrow

Always taking my chances on the promise of the future
But a heart full of sorrow beats a lonely tapestry

when you're crying in the rain
crying in the rain
Well, that's all i care to do. There is a different rythym
under the lead break, and the leads and fills themselves.
But life is for learning.
A black cat moans when he's burning with the fever
A stray dog howls when he's lonely in the night
A woman goes crazy with the thoughts of retribution
Then a man starts weeping when he's sick and tired of life
I keep on dreaming dreams of tomorrow
Feel I'm wasting my time lighting candles in the wind
Always taking my chances on the promise of the future
That a heart full of sorrow paints a lonely tapestry
The sun is shining
Ooh, but it's raining in my heart
No one understands the heartache
No one feels the pain
No one ever sees the tears
When you're crying in the rain
When you're crying in the rain
Crying in the rain
I can never deny all the sweet things I've tasted
Though I've been mistreated, I keep coming back for more, more, more
I know where I'm going, there's no hope of absolution
I can't seem to separate the good times from the bad
The sun is shining
Ooh baby, it's still raining in my heart
In my heart
No one understands the heartache
No one feels the pain
No one ever sees the tears
When you're crying in the rain
When you're crying in the rain
When you're crying in the rain
When you're crying in the rain, no, no, no
The sun is shining
But it's raining in my heart
No one understands the heartache
No one feels the pain
No one ever sees the tears
When you're crying in the rain
When you're crying in the rain
When you're crying in the rain
When you're crying in the rain
Crying in the rain
Crying in the rain
