Flying through the sky
His true love waits
Lonely time's gone by
There's a problem at the border
He learns they won't let him through

She was standing in the rain
She waits in vain for you
She was standing in the rain
She knows her love will pull her through

Immigration law must be obeyed
Close the case, return another day
On the phone he tries to tell her
He must go without a single word

She was standing in the rain
She waits in vain for you
She was standing in the rain
She knows her love will pull her through

Taking to the cloudy skies again
The city lights shimmer on the plane
In his eyes he sees the sadness
For his love will always be the same
