Rainy, Rainy Life,

Rainy, rainy life- Rainy, rainy life... Blowing cold winds ...even in my dreams Colors gone, even evergreens... I think about the joy, I had with you Now grey dwells within my soul... Nothing exists to fill the hole Seeds were planted ...but they cannot grow In sterile, barren and forgotten soil Chorus Daily I will pray... for strength to face, another day Tomorrow's a turning world away I can't think about it now... Your mem'rys forever burned in my mind... Unchanged with passing time Rainy, rainy life... Morning glory, hyacinthine blue Colors blaze with fading hues... Rainbows appear, immutable my mood, Darkness has imbued Salmon colored roses bloom... I reside in constant gloom... Awaiting your return with open arms Chorus Daily I will pray... for strength to face, another day Tomorrow's a turning world away I can't think about it now... Your mem'rys forever burned in my mind... Unchanged with passing time Rainy, rainy life... pictures of the love we shared... Mem'ries of loved one's that cared My eyes see everything, but now I'm blind... Life's been to me so unkind People look and they stop and stare.... a homeless man , traveling to nowhere... Standing watching cars pass in the pouring rain. Chorus Daily I will pray... for strength to face, another day Tomorrow's a turning world away I can't think about it now... Your mem'rys forever burned in my mind... Unchanged with passing time fade John Derek Hamilton September 10,2016

Thanks Jo, this one is special to me, as I have seen that same blank stare from people going no where, wandering the streets aimlessly, so sad.
