John Hamilton Poet Lyric

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?

Repeat chorus Fade

Susan Ashley July 16, 2018 at 9:05 PM 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 Susan Ashley July 16, 2018 at 10:46 PM 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.. John Hamilton July 16, 2018 at 10:06 PM Thanks Susan, a great description of what I was trying to portray, I think you said it better...lol!

Heidi Sands July 14, 2018 at 6:33 PM I love this one. I think it is a good portrayal of someone who feels so lost in life and with ones self. You have done well with this :) John Hamilton July 14, 2018 at 10:11 PM Thanks Heidi I do appreciate it!

Andrea Dietrich July 13, 2018 at 6:51 PM Love how you put it all together, the verses with chorus and bridge included. Loved that image of between twilight and night! John Hamilton July 13, 2018 at 10:28 PM Thanks Andrea, as you would say poor sap, is in trouble!

Lyric Man July 9, 2018 at 10:57 PM John, a powerfully introspective tune.. I really like this! John Hamilton July 10, 2018 at 1:49 PM Thanks LM brave first comment, glad you got it, seems most don't.
