Waits, Tom - Make It Rain Lyrics






She took all my money
And my best friend
You know the story
Here it comes again
I have no pride
I have no shame
You gotta make it rain
Make it rain!

Since you're gone
Deep inside it hurts
I'm just another sad guest
On this dark earth

I want to believe
In the mercy of the world again
Make it rain, make it rain!

The nite's too quiet
Stretched out alone
I need the whip of thunder
And the wind's dark moan

I'm not Able, I'm just Cain
Open up the heavens
Make it rain!

I'm close to heaven
Crushed at the gate
They sharpen their knives
On my mistakes

What she done, you can't give it a name
You gotta make it rain
Make it rain, yeah!

Without her love
Without your kiss
Hell can't burn me
More than this
I'm burning up all this pain
Put out the fire
Make it rain!

I'm born to trouble
I'm born to fate
Inside a promise
I can't escape
It's the same old world
But nothing looks the same
Make it rain! [2x]

Got to make it rain
Make it rain
You got to make it rain
Got to make it rain
You got to...

I stand alone here! [2x]
Sing it...
Make it rain! [2x]

    God bless! this is a great song with a great lyrics, it makes feel the pain and the struggle to carry on.
    I feel more cured by this desperate tone than by 100 contemporary love songs, full of self-pity and fake emotions. Make It Rain!

    Once again way better than the remaster. They butchered the entire album with that shitty remaster. Here's an idea let's take all the dirt and grunge off of real gone and make the audio nice an clear. Morons.

    This song fucking RULES.

  21. A.... B....

    Story of my life

  22. J.... B....

    One of my favorite Tom Waits songs. Sounds like he's straight up preaching with that deep, scratchy growl. Long live Tom.

  23. B.... ....

    Jesus Christ, doesn't get much better than waits for song writing. Truly unique, that's rare

  24. F.... W....

  26. a.... ....

    Tom's vocals are as raw as the dirt of an open grave.

    a.... ....

    But not as raw as the raw-dogging I gave your mom.

  27. V.... H....

    Marc Ribot's guitar playing on this whole album is God Tier shit

  32. m.... ....

    Maestro Ribot! <3

  33. H.... T....

    Grassy, Gritty and Poetic at the same time. This's simply a Masterpiece on its own.

  34. R.... A....

    You are fkn best. Can I be your guru?

  35. i.... m....

    I can't believe that there are people who think Ed Sheeran made this song famous! there are people who think that Ed Sheeran is actually more significant than this living god of music!

  36. �.... v....

    This song made outside cats come to my house.

  37. p.... C....

    Am I the only one who loves all Waits's songs without being drunk?

  44. J.... F....

    all these comments. we can't all be wrong...can we?

  45. T.... E....

    This is what I call good old fashion blues. If you are lucky, you will find yourself at a juke joint down south with a good bottle of tequila while listen to Tom Waits.

  46. j.... s....

    Here here I totally agree, tom waits you and me !!

  47. A.... E....

    Heavens gate will be guarded by a redeemed yellow dog

  48. S.... S....

    So how am I supposed to give up drinking?

  49. S.... I....

    Writing as an amateur theologian, the Theology of this song is impeccable, truly an amazing song.

  50. M.... v....

    All the alcohol references people are making in the comments section are hilarious--Tom has been sober for years!

    M.... v....

    Matt von D Yeah, well the world will never be sober.

  51. A.... S....

    MARC RIBOT !!!!

  52. M.... D....

    spectacular! Tom is better through the years!

  53. J.... R....

    bad mutha fukka

    prostrate yourselves people and recognize! pardon me please. ..

  63. C.... T....

    Saw Tom live 3 times many years ago. He got off his touring bus and walk up to and was messing with use. One of my all time favorites

  64. V.... T....

    რა წვიმა შე მუტელო, მზეზე იმღერე მე შენს დედას ვტენე მუტელში

  65. s.... H....

    rain falling down, deeper than any ocean.

  66. A.... S....

    delete your comments, I wanna stand alone here.

  67. g.... F....

    this song deserves a few more million views

    g.... F....

    I thin TW is an acquired taste, and also we usually put time and "discover" Tom Waits songs one after the other, this should be partly why it doesn't reach a wider audience.

  68. T.... L....

    First Tom Waits song I ever heard, and I must admit it totally blew my mind. This is the very definition of badass.

    T.... L....

    @Bruno Aziz Haha, you're damn right I did. I actually heard it a few months ago, and since then he's definitely become one of my top 5 favourite artists.

    T.... L....

    Tom Laveign I agree!

    T.... L....

    Tom Laveign down in the hole !!

    T.... L....

    Well said, Bruno! Lol

    T.... L....

    Tom Laveign You got that right! It’s feels like you’re getting scolded. Best vocals ever .

  69. S.... M....

    make it a storming Rain ... man

  70. J.... A....

    tTom Waits listen to the brother

  71. D.... M....

    Cigarette smoke, dive-beer-smells, and working-man grit is coming out of my speakers. It's awesome.

    D.... M....

    Blue collar wisdom . Tom Watts does it good .

  72. C.... G....

    love the name of the channel

  73. W.... H....

    I love the grit of this

  74. D.... M....

    She took all my money
    And my best friend
    You know the story
    Here it comes again
    I have no pride
    I have no shame
    You gotta make it rain
    Make it rain

    Since you're gone
    Deep inside it hurts
    I'm just another sad guest
    On this dark earth

    I want to believe
    In the mercy of the world again
    Make it rain, make it rain

    The night's too quiet
    Stretched out alone
    I need the whip of thunder
    And the wind's dark moan

    I'm not Abel, I'm just Cain
    Open up the heavens
    Make it rain

    I'm close to heaven
    Crushed at the gate
    They sharpen their knives
    On my mistakes

    What she done, you can't give it a name
    You gotta make it rain
    Make it rain, yeah!

    Without her love
    Without your kiss
    Hell can't burn me
    More than this
    I'm burning with all this pain
    Put out the fire
    Make it rain

    I'm born to trouble
    I'm born to fate
    Inside a promise
    I can't escape
    It's the same old world
    But nothing looks the same
    Make it rain, make it rain

    Got to make it rain
    Make it rain
    You got to make it rain
    Got to make it rain
    You got to...

    I stand alone here
    I stand alone here
    Sing it...
    Make it rain
    Make it rain

    D.... M....

    Thank You...God Bless

  75. N.... ....

    You gotto maaykittrayne!

    N.... ....

    No mate, ugotto may keith reign

  76. M.... O....

    I love waits and respect him , first of all. But, one time I saw a stripper "dance" to this song and it was such a surprise to hear it and so great because everyone made it rain.

    M.... O....

    Was it a golden shower?

    M.... O....

    Wow what a condescending comment. That being said lots of clubs I've worked at play waits, because hes awesome.

    M.... O....

    I wanna be that stripper. "Make it rain" is my most favorite song in the world. Seconded by "Walk away"

    M.... O....

    @Dailon Mann I always thought this song has multiple narratives.

    M.... O....

    Awesome.

  77. m.... ....

    I'm drinking a 15 pack of beer, a pint of grain alcohol, just listening to tom waits, good enough company for me

    m.... ....

    fuck yes

    m.... ....

    mxyzptlk133 same same alone in Colombia. God bless

    m.... ....

    All of a sudden this cheap shit whiskey left at the house from last week is startin' to taste better.

    m.... ....

    I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.

    m.... ....

    Been there.

  78. f.... v....

    this is so good ,i just got to listen to this song at least a few times a day ,and that guitarsolo ,it´s chemistry on strings.

  79. R.... ....

    one of the greatest songs ever written.

  80. K.... D....

    tommyyyy|

  81. N.... P....

    I loathe people that think that they are better than others because they listen to non-mainstream music. I am young and I love the older, more obscure stuff but that doesn't make me any better, just luckier for being able to have the right circumstances to be introduced to great music.

    N.... P....

    Im a 5y old kid and I'm listening to this song. I guess I win

    N.... P....

    Funny, I feel the same way about people who, for whatever reason, mention their young age and preference for older music in Youtube comments.

    Small world.

    N.... P....

    Wooooshh.
    The sound of the joke passing over your head

    N.... P....

    The only reason I’d ever mention my age is to prove that anyone can enjoy music, regardless of age.

    N.... P....

    Malhado - Actually I think it went over your head.

  82. G.... ....

    what she done you can't give it a name

  83. A.... A....

    The Man is his own Magic and Myth.

  84. A.... ....

    Another killer tune! Another killer Ribot's solo! Another Waits masterpiece! GNARLY!!!

  85. S.... ....

    Buff survivability to warlocks in wow, give us Fel flame back I want to believe in mercy make it rain.

  86. C.... D....

    La mejor canción que he escuchado en mi vida

  87. S.... ....

    Isn't this blues? Very bluesy and with his singing and the lyrics

    S.... ....

    +Shadow_Link it is blues with exp. rock

    S.... ....

    Sure is.

  88. C.... ....

    God, Tom Waits is fantastic. Takes me back to when I was a child. there was this place called "Margo's cafe" which would always play Tom Waits' albums, it was awesome.

  89. M.... Y....

    I'm not Able, I'm just Cain

  90. K.... ....

    Он шикарен .
