From the recording Telling Tales
Lyrics
On a cold and rainy day, while time flew by,
I stood in the street and called your name to the sky.
No answer came back so I started to scream,
They thought I was mad, they thought I was mean.
But my lover never wrote me back.
On a cold and rainy day my hope ran out,
My lips started moving and I began to shout.
“All for one reason,” I said with a sigh,
“The day I lost my innocence was when I told my first lie.”
And my lover never wrote me back.
On a cold and rainy day I lay on the street,
My head in the gutter not far from my feet.
A passerby asked me if I needed his help,
“No thank you mister I’m gonna get there myself.”
‘Cause my lover never wrote me back.
