“Can’t Stop the Rain” (02/23/81)

The years just roll on by

like the endless tears I cry

and life I live in vain.

The world keeps a turning

the memories keep a burning

and I can’t stop the rain.

The days are dreary with emptiness

the nights are cold with loneliness

and love is never more.

My heart’s as cold as stone

my mind keeps dreaming on

wishing life was like before.

Now I can only hope

forever seem to grope

for love that dies in vain.

Time is all that’s left

I’m only a shadow of myself

and I can’t stop the rain.
