Hm. Considering that nose-rings are typically made of surgical stainless steel, which has a pretty high resistance to corrosion, it seems that the singer predicts that the jewelry-bedecked object of the song will be crying for a very, very long time.
They almost make it work. I almost liked it. It's a little too dense. They turn away from the meteorological metaphor a little too quickly. Instead of "you're gonna weep", they could say something about "tears like rain" or some carp like that. A little cliched, but it would enhance the continuity of the line.
