Lyrics
The Rain
Soft the rain falls on the man as he walks through the darkness and silence of night
On through the rain his face showing the pain of a life full of anguish and a fight to survive
Out in the world is a pretty young girl who was born of his own flesh and blood
She never new of this broken man who struggles on
Deep in his mind is a flicker of light a memory of things in the past
A face or a picture a house in the country a child and a woman he thinks he once new
Still he keeps walking to a new destination a place he thinks will hold a clue
He?ll never know what he?s lost ?till he sees it has gone
Once in a while he remembers a smile but his memory was never that good
He wouldn?t know what to tell her if only he could
She has a life she is somebody?s wife with a husband and children at home
She is so blissfully happy and he all alone
Soft the rain falls on the man as he walks through the darkness and silence of night
