I'm surprised no one has said "Kissing in the rain" by Tori Amos or even "Northern Lad" .. ok, that one isn't really about rain but the lyrics.. I love the lyrics in that one...
and from Les Miz: "A little fall of rain" was one of my favs (after my alltime fav. on my own)

Yeah there are a few Tori songs that mention rain but are not about rain at all, so I didn't include them.

Well ok Northern Lad, but then that really isn't about rain now is it?
