Caught In The Rain

In a rusted red Chevy with a heart full of glory

She left that night

A suitcase at the door open wide let the cold air come in

And then she asked me for a light

Said she had some old business see an old friend

Or maybe make a new start

But the words of her reason they changed with the season

And the truth burned in my heart

It blew me away and I thought I'd go crazy

'Cause I knew even then I was caught

I'm caught in the rain again

I pray to the Heavens to defend me

I'm caught in the rain

Why's it seem like more rain that they send me?

So I listen to the wind for the answer

Time hangs heavy on my face

I run from the storm that's on it's way

Until I find there is no place

No person, no thing I can run to, no shelter I can gain from the rain

Yes I know this time it's too late, now

'Cause I'm caught in the rain again

And I pray to the Heavens to defend me

I'm caught in the rain

Why's it seem like more rain that they send me? And they send me

And the rain comes down so silently

And time stand's still like it's in front of me

And the years turn to the rain

And this silence kills me

So now in this one horse town bar

I sing in the back room in the December night

Here she comes through the doorway

With a blustering wind that's too cold to forget

She looks like she knew me

The heat shot through me, melted me down

So we sat and talked about the old days

Or any new things that we found

Talked about the days when we were so much younger and innocent

We saw it plain, we were just caught in the rain

We're caught in the rain again

I pray to the Heavens to defend me

Caught in the rain

Why's it seem like more rain that they send me?

I'm out here on my knees

And my love knows I've been trying

Still I'm caught in the rain on these old fool ideas I'm relying

So I guess she gets me the rain again
