My Tears Come Falling Down Like Rain

Desmond is a big man, he is six foot one

He brought home an organ, just to have some fun

Pressure got too much, stardom take it's toll

Woh, his life is just one big black hole

Woh, Desmond you should've held your head up high

Not be dispirited when your feeling gets you down

As I sat there watching Desmond acting like a clown

My tears come falling down like rain

My tears come falling down like rain

Alton was a hard man yes we all agree

Him sacrifice life for his family

Policeman come, put him in a jail

You should've heard old Alton wail

Oh Alton, you should've held your head up high

Not be dispirited when your feeling gets you down

Now they come and tell me he's lying dead in a cell

My tears come falling down like rain

My tears come falling down like rain

Come from Jamaica, I was eight years old

I didn't want to, I had to do what I was told

Stepmother brought me up, she taught me right from

wrong

Every night, she used to sing this little song

Woh, children you've got to hold your head up high

Not be dispirited when your feeling gets you down

When I think about my family the joy just makes me cry

My tears come falling down like rain

My tears come falling down like rain

My tears come falling down like rain, rain, rain yeah
