LOOKING AT THE RAIN
(Gordon Lightfoot)


Gordon Lightfoot - 1972
Hank Williams Jr. - 1977





Lookin' at the rain, feelin' the pain
Of love lost runnin' through my brain
Lookin' at the wind, watchin' it spin
The leaves along the street, you win
Waitin' for a line to fall
Tellin' you it's all a big mistake
Lookin' at a face so out of place
Inside that picture frame of lace

Lookin' at the walls, wishin' you'd call
And tell me you're okay, that's all
Wishin' this was all a dream
And I'd find you sleeping' when I wake
Lookin' at the tree's, so ill at ease
From sleep that will not come, that's me

Lookin' at the dawn, knowin' it's wrong
Still thinkin' of your love that's gone
Wishin' this was all a dream
And I'd find you sleepin' when I wake
Lookin' at the rain, feelin' the pain
Of love lost runnin' through my brain

Lookin' at the wind, watchin' it spin
The leaves along the street, you win
Waitin' for a line to fall
Tellin' you it's all a big mistake
But the words won't come
And I know I'd feel the same
Lookin' at the rain
