OUT IN THE RAIN

These streets all know me
        The shadows whisper
Tonight keeps looking back
 at me with neon eyes
And if they’ve seen you
     They’re not talking
You’d think by now
 maybe they’d sympathize

Out in the rain
    I keep on walking
Out in the rain
    Like the broken hearted do
I could be wrong
   But that’s where you’ll find me
Out in the rain
    Just looking for you

The sky is crying
     The winds against me
Blows like some fugitive
 with no place left to hide
I’m down to nothing
    Just this heartache
That I keep carrying around inside

I take no comfort
   In my companion
The rain is coming down now
 wild and uncontrolled
Don’t try to stop me
   You best take shelter
Tonight the sky will not be consoled

   no  no  no
