Notes About The Poem
About so many people who have had tragedy in their life and cannot deal with it and end up alone homeless on the streets.
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
