England Dan & John Ford Coley
Soldier in the Rain
[Verse 1]
Mornin' clouds are gathering around
As I stand on the bridge of the river
Years have gone since I was here
And I'm wonderin' how I differ
Taxi cabs keep rollin' by
And a blind man asks for change
And here I stand
A soldier in the rain

[Verse 2]
Coming home was all I thought of
Seein' my family and friends
They say love knows no distance
But the longing never ends
And all along these dreams I possessed
My heart never were too plain
And here I stand
A soldier in the rain

[Chorus]
I remember years ago
I had so many plans
And now I watch the river flow
Time has brought me here
With empty hands
[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
I remember years ago
I had so many plans
And now I watch the river flow
Time has brought me here
With empty hands

[Verse 3]
Mornin' clouds are gathering around
And the streets are full of reflections
A traffic light and the moon still bright
People goin' in different directions
I've thought about why I'm here
Its just too hard to explain
So here I stand
A soldier in the rain

[Outro]
In the rain
In the rain
In the rain
