He's been listening to the pouring rain Tears dripping down the window pane Grey solemn sky Watch the season die Not the man that he used to be Take a look, it's plain to see He seems so tired He's uninspired And it's an autumn rain Lost souls are swirling around Wind on the blow shaking leaves to the ground Eyes dead ahead and his collar flipped up Turning inside when the going gets tough It's an autumn rain Last sun clinging like a dying leaf Each lonely day is little more brief Big clouds looming in a swollen sky Highway gleaming with a devil's smile It's an autumn rain Early morning and the fog rolls in Hand to the plow Half-frozen ground He's been trying to reap what he sowed Once swore he'd yield a-hundredfold Claims unfulfilled Land never tilled And it's an autumn rain Lost souls are swirling around Wind on the blow shaking leaves to the ground Eyes dead ahead and his collar flipped up Turning inside when the going gets tough It's an autumn rain Last sun clinging like a dying leaf Each lonely day is little more brief Big clouds looming in a swollen sky Highway gleaming with a devil's smile It's an autumn rain Rain is gone and the sorrow is sealed Wiper scraping on a dry windshield Back on the road Nowhere to go Keeps on running away from the hurt His old house sinks into the dirt Seasons go 'round Leaves turn to brown And it's an autumn rain Lost souls are swirling around Wind on the blow shaking leaves to the ground Eyes dead ahead and his collar flipped up Turning inside when the going gets tough It's an autumn rain Last sun clinging like a dying leaf Each lonely day is little more brief Big clouds looming in a swollen sky Highway gleaming with a devil's smile It's an autumn rain
