Soldier In The Rain

England Dan and John Ford Coley

The morning clouds are gathering around


As I stand on the bridge of the river


Years have gone since I was here


And I wonder how I differ


Taxi cabs keep rolling by


And a blind man asks for change


And here I stand a soldier in the rain.





Coming home was all I thought of ...


Seeing my family and friends


They say love knows no distance


But the longing never ends


And all along the dreams I possessed


My heart never were to plain


And here I stand a soldier in the rain





I remember years ago


I had so many plans


And now I watch the river flow


Time has brought me here


With empty hands





I remember years ago


I had so many plans


And now I watch the river flow


Time has brought me here


With empty hands





The morning clouds are gathering around


And the streets are full of reflections


A traffic light and the moon still bright


People going in different directions


I've thought about why I'm here


Its just too hard to explain


And here I stand a soldier in the rain


In the rain...
