Lyrics
I'm walking in the rain
A victim of sad circumstance
I carried all my pain with me
and left without a backward glance
And the wind in my face
whispers my disgrace
as the misty damp chills me to the bone
Oh my dear one, why have I gone
walking in the rain all alone
Oh I would do most anything to renew your faith in me
Oh and I'm walking in the pouring rain
Hoping that you know my love is true
Oh my dear one, sorry that I've gone
Walking in the rain without you
Pray that you will be
waiting there for me
to hold me in your arms
oh so tenderly
and that you will find
ooh the peace of mind
you'll have when you know
that I love you oh
I still love you
I swear its true
and I'm on my way
in the rain
home to you
I pray that you will be
Waiting there for me . . .
