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…
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…
I’ve heard a lot of stories
So tell me if they’re true
Oh i would die for you
Knowing that you’re mine
You tell me that you’re sorry
You say your heart is new
Oh i will cry for you
Call me and we’ll dine
Chorus:
It’s almost over lorraine
Can you still feel the pain
Do you still want me to love you
It’s such a funny day
Whoah oh oh
It’s such a funny day
Tonight we sail for paris
Where the streets are paved with gold
Your eyes have blessed my soul
Your lips, they’ve blessed the wine
We’ll tame the gulf of lyons
I’ll wed thee in marseilles
We’ll turn the moon to blood
If only there were time
Chorus
