Martin Sexton Caught In The Rain
In a rusted red Chevy with a heart full of glory
She left that night
A suitcase at the door open wide let the cold air come in
And then she asked me for a light
Said she had some old business see an old friend
Or maybe make a new start
But the words of her reason they changed with the season
And the truth burned in my heart
It blew me away and I thought I'd go crazy
'Cause I knew even then I was caught
I'm caught in the rain again
I pray to the Heavens to defend me
I'm caught in the rain
Why's it seem like more rain that they send me?
So I listen to the wind for the answer
Time hangs heavy on my face
I run from the storm that's on it's way
Until I find there is no place
No person, no thing I can run to, no shelter I can gain from the rain
Yes I know this time it's too late, now
'Cause I'm caught in the rain again
And I pray to the Heavens to defend me
I'm caught in the rain
Why's it seem like more rain that they send me? And they send me
And the rain comes down so silently
And time stand's still like it's in front of me
And the years turn to the rain
And this silence kills me
So now in this one horse town bar
I sing in the back room in the December night
Here she comes through the doorway
With a blustering wind that's too cold to forget
She looks like she knew me
The heat shot through me, melted me down
So we sat and talked about the old days
Or any new things that we found
Talked about the days when we were so much younger and innocent
We saw it plain, we were just caught in the rain
We're caught in the rain again
I pray to the Heavens to defend me
Caught in the rain
Why's it seem like more rain that they send me?
I'm out here on my knees
And my love knows I've been trying
Still I'm caught in the rain on these old fool ideas I'm relying
So I guess she gets me the rain again
