Lyrics
Verse 1
Rainman sits to watch TV
He?s got nothing else to do
What would he do if he had more than a dream
And nothing left to lose
Rainman sits across from me in a high class restaurant
I have a feeling he?s got more than he needs
But nothing he really wants
Chorus
And now the city lights
They go out one by one
And Rainman walks to the other side
He has to face yet another day
With the pain he feels inside
And he still occupies my mind
Verse 2
Rainman sits in the middle of me
It happens all the time
Thinks about how he gave more than enough
But still someone had to die
He lost love
When he got back he got nothing in return
Now that dream that he had left behind
Is all that?s left there in his mind
It still occupies his mind
