Alone In the Pouring Rain

ALONE IN THE POURING RAIN I’m standing between twilight and the night... out in the pouring rain I haven’t got a clue, of what to do… or where to go from here… I’m stuck between my courage, and my fear Chorus Now, I’m all alone, and everything just feels so wrong With no clear answers, to the questions, I must face I’m almost done, with this life where I don’t belong I just don’t remember who I am, or my name… I’m all alone standing out here, in the pouring rain. Can you help me to, find my way… to take the first train back to me My mind has fallen a little off track… at least, it seems that way to me There’s a man in the mirror, and I don’t know why... he’s staring back at me… I just can't see, what he wants to see Chorus Now, I’m all alone, and everything just feels so wrong With no clear answers, to the questions, I must face I’m almost done, with this life where I don’t belong... I just don’t remember who I am or my name... I’m all alone standing out here, in the pouring rain. Bridge I just want to go back home, wherever it is, that it might be… I don’t think I should be alone Doesn’t someone recognize me? Don’t you recognize me?

A beautifully sad outpouring of heartfelt emotions, feelings of lost wanderings and longings for home.. a powerful and poignantly expressed poem of helpless despair that reaches in deep and touches, no, squeezes my heart.. Warmest wishes always my friend.. ~Susan

Oh no, John.. my response was an inspired reaction to your emotional and beautiful lyrics.. I would say you portrayed your feelings soulfully from your heart - it doesn't get any better than that, my talented friend..
