Standing In The Rain - Wishbone Ash

Flying through the sky

His true love waits.

Lonely time’s gone by.

There’s a problem at the border

He learns they won’t let him through.

She was standing in the rain.

She waits in vain for you.

She was standing in the rain.

She knows her love will pull her through.

Immigration law must be obeyed.

Close the case, return another day.

On the phone he tries to tell her

He must go without a single word.

She was standing in the rain.

She waits in vain for you.

She was standing in the rain.

She knows her love will pull her through.

Taking to the cloudy skies again,

The city lights shimmer on the plane.

In his eyes he sees the sadness,
