She would never say
What she was all about
A restless dreamer
Without a doubt

How was I to know
What she had on her mind
An empty photograph
For one so blind

I'm walkin' in the rain
Doin' what I can
It's pourin' down again
On this lonely man
I'm walkin' in the rain

Holdin' back the years
The rain is on my face
And running wet with tears
I'm walkin' in the rain

Mama said
No use cryin'
It's all over now
There's no denying
Words won't comfort you
But you'll get over it
There's no need right now
For your despair

I don't need the pain
Sing me lullabys
Your good intentions
All pass me by

She was something special
So hard to find
The sweetest memories
Are left behind

I'm walkin' in the rain
Doin' what I can
It's pourin' down again
On this lonely man
I'm walkin' in the rain

Holdin' back the years
The rain is on my face
And running wet with tears
I'm walkin' in the rain
