Caught in the Rain - Jay Clifford

A statue in the park

Of a soldier

A concert in the dark

Of some sad overture

The writing on the signs

Says stay behind the lines

And still we're all caught in the rain

Headlights on parade

For the burial

Underneath the granite

Arch memorial

The traffic makes its way

Past the barricade

And still we're all caught in the rain

The day goes by like a fire burning

Past the point of no returning

Leaving us here

Caught in the rain

The feeling in the crowd of hysteria

Is pushing on the fences and the barriers

The horses and police

Strain to keep the peace

And still we're all caught in the rain

Yes we're all caught in the rain

The day goes by like a fire burning

Past the point of no returning

Leaving us here

Caught in the rain

I say to myself

I know you're out there staring at the moon

Burning all your days away too soon to shine

The day goes by like a fire burning

Past the point of no returning

Leaving us here

Caught in the rain
