Have you ever been left standin' in the rain
Without a friend for miles to call your name?
Iron street lamps cast a damp shadow
And through the fog there ain't a face that you know
But you'd be better off unrecognized
As to keep your helplessness in disguise
When people's pity starts, it'll quickly be worn
You might just watch it wash away with the storm
Standin' in the rain
No one can see you cryin'
Standin' in the rain
Your tears are part of the storm
I'm a distant stranger to the man you know
But I'm still learnin' how to change from years ago
I have things that I should've told you then
But by now, I don't know where to begin
I have memories that my daydreams drift upon
From the gentle fields of our golden, quiet dawn
From the fadin' hour of our final stormy dusk
I've sung about you on the streets that I busk
Standin' in the rain
No one can see you cryin'
Standin' in the rain
Your tears are part of the storm
