Gthe ships were gone and the pit fell iFn
Ga funeral bell tolled the hour inF  
Ga lonely drunkard slumberingF  
Gnot the twang of the guitarE  
Fnot even the siren wail of pain
Gnot the shadows of desireE  
Fcaught in the pouring pouring rainG  
breeze black windows on date street
where I was raised up on the cheap
(yeah, say!) ask no questions work and sleep
'til the old tango that's on date street
I can hear the sharpen of the pain
some lucky stranger in the rain
hear the sharpen of the rain
lucky stranger ... in the rain
hammers beat in dusty times
on these weedy rusted lines
mocking the sun and optomistic signs
all these weedy gates of iron
the sun won't shine my way again
lucky moon was on the wane
oh I'll never see a star again
in the pouring pouring rain
a salty band played for the train
a sad trombone and some refrain
the future pointed to the weather vane
the old calypso died of shame
I hear the sharpen of the pain
some lucky stranger in the rian
hear the sharpen of the pain
lucky stranger pouring rain
