Caught In The Rain

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
