I see the rain outside,
Feeling cold, tonight.
I hear the car doors slam;
People here don't give a damn.
The wind blows rain in my eye,
There's noone here for me to meet.
A couple trying to get dry
On the other side of the street.
I'm walking slow without a care in the world,
'Cause everything's going right.
I'd better call my wife and tell her why
I won't be seeing her tonight.
Oh no.
Oh no.
A broken beam of light,
A songbird calls, just out of sight.
Ancient leaves washed away,
Just like the troubles of the day.
A hazy world of blue,
For me and you.
Gotta see the rains through,
Nothing much I can do.
The water falls like it's the end of the world,
But I'm still a-OK.
I want to take off and walk these streets,
Until the end of my days.
Oh no.
Oh no.
