Pourin' Rain

How long must I wander in this pourin' rain?
How long will I know this aching pain?
Tell the young lady who brought me this rain,
I'll climb all her high walls if she'll let out her train.
How long will I know this pain?

Danger all around me or so they say.
Why is this darkness still with me today?
Send me an angel to show me the way.
My baby done left me today.
How long will I know this pain?

Light when reduced to the speed of sound,
is the word made flesh where our love be bound.
Speak the truth to me and spare me some light,
to pierce the edges of the seething night.
How long will I know this pain?

Tell the young lady who brought me this rain,
I'll tear down her high hopes of holding the reins.
How long will I know this pain?
