The morning clouds

Are gathering around

As I stand

On the bridge of the river

Years have gone since

I was here

And I wonder how I differ

Taxicabs keep rolling by

And a blind man

Asks for change

And here I stand

A soldier in the rain

Coming home

Was all I thought of

Seeing my family

And friends

They say love knows no distance

But the lonely never ends

And all along the dreams

That possessed my heart

Never were to plain

And here I stand

A soldier in the rain

I remember years ago

I had so many plans

And now I watch

The river flow

Time has brought me here

With empty hands

I remember years ago

I had so many plans

And now I watch

The river flow

Time has brought me here

With empty hands

The morning clouds

Are gathering around

And the streets

Are full of reflections

A traffic light

And the moon still bright

People going in

Different directions

I've thought about why I'm here

It's just too hard

To explain

Say here I stand

A soldier in the rain
