Rain Lyrics

Now it's started again-
the rain coming down
-and I'm all alone
in this one-horse town.
On a long lonely road
I've been riding for days
though the rain never stops
and the sun never stays.
So the rain comes down
and my eyes look high,
but I keep on riding, Lord,
I don't know why.
So the rain comes down
and my eyes look high,
cause I know you're out there
somewhere behind the cloudy sky.
Now it's started again-
the thunder and light.
I've got so long to go,
but I stop for the night.
There's a dark, wrinkled man,
coffee's black as his eyes.
Is he hiding my future,
or just more of my lies?

So I said to the man,
"Can I buy you a meal?"
He looked hungry and tired,
'bout as old as I feel.
So he said to me, "Boy,"
his words cut like a knife,
"what you buy with your pennies
is a hungry man's life."
So the rain comes down
and my eyes look high,
and I think I've found you, Lord,
I don't know why.
So the rain comes down
and my eyes look high,
cause I know you're out there
somewhere behind the old man's eyes.
