Standing in the Rain

We met along the back streets where we would not be seen

Our bodies full of passion, with love our only dream

The neon flashed in our hotel room, but I never complained

Until the night you left me standing in the rain

I wondered what had happened, afraid to call your home

So I spent the night in the local bar, but I had to drink alone

I must have gotten in a fight, 'cause I woke up bleeding with pain

I had the midnight sun with you

Now I'm standing in the rain

Standing in the rain

Another woman answered when I called you in the morning

The sound of her voice came without a warning

The sun was coming up, but inside my soul was storming

I guess there are some promises you just can't keep

I'm still wandering down those back streets

But with a different point of view

'Cause I lost everything I had when I bet it all on you

I try not to think about it, or else I'll go insane

Sometimes I cry, wondering why you left me standing in the rain

Standing in the rain

Why did you leave me standing

Standing in the rain
