SOLDIER IN THE RAIN

(John Ford Coley & Sunny Dalton)

Morning clouds are gathering around, as I stand on the bridge of the river

Years have gone since I was here and I'm wondering how I differ

Taxi cabs keep rolling by and a blind man asks for change

And here I stand, a soldier in the rain

*

Coming home was all I thought of, seeing my faimly and friends

They say love knows no distance, but the longing never ends

And all along these dreams that possessed my heart, never were too plain

Here I stand, a soldier in the rain

*

I remember years ago, I had so many plans

And now I watch the river flow,

Time has brought me here, with empty hands

*

I remember years ago, I had so many plans

And now I watch the river flow,

Time has brought me here, with empty hands

*

Morning clouds are gathering around and the streets are full of reflections

A traffic light and the moon's still bright, people going in different directions

I've thought about why I'm here, it's just too hard to explain

So here I stand, a soldier in the rain

In the rain, in the rain, in the rain
