The P o u r i n g R a i n

I wonder where the money went. I wonder if you're innocent and I want you here
tonight.

I wonder if you're on the run. I wonder if you took the gun. What you did I
hope was right.

The rain, the pouring rain. The wind is up you're on the run .I wonder what
you've really done.

You know I haven't slept a wink .I'm frightened of the things I think. Did you
have a wild and raging plan.

Penetrating eyes of blue. Make you look so cold it's true but you're a warm and
loving man.

The rain, the pouring rain.
The lights were on when I got back but you were gone and you didn't pack.

It looks as though there was a fight. The horse is gone you're out of sight.
The vase you gave is shattered on the floor.

The telephone is off the hook. Oh I don't like the way this looks. Outside I
hear the shouting of the law.

The rain, the pouring rain.
The wind is up you're on the run. I wonder what you've really done.

I know they're going to question me. I can't answer I didn't see. Only little
Jesse T saw.

He's crying and his eyes are red he's huddled underneath his bed screaming that
he wants his Pa

The rain, the pouring rain.
Well I went out it wasn't long. I just got back. Well what went wrong .

Oh Charlie Wade broke out tonight. Did he come here he said he might. His
mind's been on the loose for many years.

I'll meet you by the riverside. That's where we met. That's where you'll hide.

The wind, the pouring rain, the tears.
The wind, the pouring rain, the tears.
