Lyrics When I Go Walking in the Rain - The Madding Crowd

When I Go Walking in the Rain

I like to go walking in the rain
The dry northern air just makes me dizzy
For when I walk in the rain
I feel my sadness slain
And I can walk tall again
I like to go creeping in the night
There’s a certain spark there that is missing
From proceedings in the day
That takes my breath away
So the night feels brighter anyway
Smiles aren’t natural
They’re garish, cheap and bland
So I’d rather be a sour and dour mess
You think what you like
Cos I really do not care
As I take my shoes and stroll atop my righteous higher plain
When I go walking in the rain
They judge me for walking in the rain
They say the sunshine’s much more pleasant
And I suppose the sunshine’s not so bad
But it don’t make me half as glad
As when I see those drips a-dropping
And when I go scuttling in the night
The rain’s caress is even better
And yes, I welcome your distain
If you think I’m out my brain
For going walking in the rain
Smiles aren’t natural
They’re garish, cheap and bland
So I’d rather be a sour and dour mess
You think what you like
Cos I really do not care
As I take my shoes and stroll atop my righteous higher plain
When I go walking in the rain
Cease
Smiles aren’t natural
They’re garish, cheap and bland
So I’d rather be a sour and dour mess
You think what you like
Cos I really do not care
As I take my shoes and stroll atop my righteous higher plain
When I go walking in the rain
When I go walking in the rain (dry northern air just makes me dizzy)
