Man In The Rain
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You're the one who's nearly breaking my heart
Had your chance, you just threw it all away
Living in a world that you could never be a part of
And never time to walk away
You can't stay, no, you can't stay
You're no loser, there's still time to ride that train
And you must be on your way tonight
Think anew right through, you're a man in the rain
What's the use in hanging round these walls
Lamps are burning, but nobody's at home
There's a new day dawning as a cold rain falls
And now's the time to walk alone
You can't stay, no, you can't stay
You're no loser, there's still time to ride that train
And you must be on your way tonight
Think anew right through, you're a man in the rain
How's it feel when there's time to remember?
Branches bare, like the trees in November
Had it all, threw it all away
Now's the time to walk away
You can't stay, no, you can't stay
You're no loser, there's still time to ride that train
And you must be on your way tonight
Think anew right through, you're a man in the rain
How's it feel when there's time to remember?
Branches bare, like the trees in November
How's it feel when there's time to remember?
Branches bare, like the trees in November
You can't stay, no, you can't stay
You're no loser, there's still time to ride that train
And you must be on your way tonight
Think anew right through, you're a man in the rain
Threw it all away, threw it all away
And now's the time to walk away
You can't stay, no, you can't stay
You're no loser, there's still time to ride that train
And you must be on your way tonight
Think anew right through, you're a man in the rain
