I'm only happy when it rains
I feel good when things are goin' wrong
I only listen to the sad, sad songs
I'm only happy when it rains

During the first several months of covid I was in hospitals, rehab and a nursing home. While there I wasn't allowed visitors or to go outside. I wasn't even allowed to open the window. Eventually, all I wanted was to feel the rain on my face so I could know I was alive. You don't miss it until it's gone.
