  • I wish you well, I hope you survive
    I hope you live, oh baby, so I can watch you cry

    Cause I know in time you'll see what you did to me
    And you'll come running back

    [Chorus]
    I'm gonna rain on your parade, no, I won't take it again
    And I'll keep raining, raining, raining over you
    I'm gonna rain on your parade, no, I won't take it again
    And I'll keep raining, raining, raining over you

    I pity the fools who believe in you
    Cause I know someday now they'll see your colors too
    And if you see a smile besides my face, no, I'm doing good now
    Since you've been erased

    Cause I know in time you'll see what you did to me
    And you'll come running back

    [Chorus]

    I'm gonna rain on you
    I'm gonna rain on you
    I'm gonna rain on you

    I'm gonna rain on your parade, no, I won't take it again
    And I'll keep raining, raining, raining over you
    I'm gonna rain on your parade, no, I won't take it again
    And I'll keep raining, raining, raining over you

    I'm gonna rain on your parade, no, I won't take it again
    And I'll keep raining, raining, raining over you Writer/s: AIMEE DUFFY, STEVE BOOKER

  • Jan Cornelissen from BelgiumThe first line "I wish you well" has the same melody as "I lost my heart" as sung by PJ Harvey in "Down by the water" of 1995. And this melody line is roughly similar to "I met my love" as sung by the Pogues in "Dirty Old Town". This song was written by Ewan McColl who took inspiration from old Gaelic folk songs, so it's no wonder that this melody also migrated to the States where it appeared in numerous so-called cowboy-songs as well as in "Wayfaring stranger" as sung by Johnny Cash. A lot more information can be found on the internet site of "Honeysuckle Roads". I discovered this site because I was actively searching for a link between "Dirty Old Town" and "Wayfaring Stranger".
