SOLDIER IN THE RAIN

Morning clouds are gathering around
As I stand on the ridge of the river
Years have gone since I was here
And I'm wondering how I differ

Taxicabs keep rolling by
And a black man asks for change
And here I stand
A soldier in the rain

Coming home was all I thought of
Seeing my family and friends
They're saying love knows no place
Yes, but the longing never ends

And all along these dreams I possess
My heart never were to blame
And hope I stand
A soldier in the rain

REFRAIN:
I remember years ago
I had so many friends
Now I watch the river flow
The time has brought me here
With empty hands

INSTRUMENTAL
REPEAT REFRAIN

Morning clouds are gathering around
And the streams are full of reflections
A traffic light and the moon still bright
People going in different direction

I thought about my own fear
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 ...
