The Rain

The day is winding down The rain seeps into the ground As shadows fall upon their faces It's time again They're shipping out Bells are ringing Girls are crying Soon there will be dying And the rain falls down so hard Like a tear in a mothers eye The rhythm marches on Can you hear them singing Singing the songs of hope and glory As friends fall and are left behind Images return to haunt their minds Promises to keep for those who sleep The vultures prey upon the weak And the rain falls down so hard Like a tear in a mothers eye The rhythm marches on Can ya hear them singing Singing the songs of fear of falling down Piercing like a red hot iron His mind shuts off The final siren Silence descends before the rain A storm is breaking on the plain He lies in mud without pain The only sound is the fall of the rain And the rain falls down so hard Like a tear in a mothers eye The rhythm marches on Can you hear them singing Singing the songs of fear of falling down And the rain falls down so hard Like a tear in a mothers eye The rhythm marches on Can you hear them singing Singing the songs of fear of falling down
