Long ago a lonely man stood
Off of a quiet avenue
A pretty girl in passing chanced to look

That's when he fell, fell for you

I listen to the rain

Pounding on the railing
The beat's a sweet, soft refrain
of how he found you LORRAINE


He's rocking on a porch you used to know
Here where he swore his love was true

He sips his drink and dreams the days of old
Of when he fell, fell for you


I listen to the rain...
