| I wore out my welcome as the days grew thin
|
| In this Belfast town
|
| It’s like I’ve been waitin' 'til my life begins
|
| And love comes around
|
| I wander through the streets and I see them look away
|
| The wind hits my bones as they whisper your name
|
| I go out walking in the cold Irish rain
|
| Verse II:
|
| Fed up with the landlord comin' down my door
|
| With his poison gaze
|
| I’ve stared out his window and I’ve walked the floor
|
| Of this sorry place
|
| I’ll take comfort in the cold until I find my faith again
|
| Oh God know I’ve tried but I just can’t fit in I go out walking in the cold Irish rain
|
| Bridge:
|
| What I’d give to see the sun on your face
|
| To lose myself, in a long embrace
|
| How I’d love to hear the band start to play
|
| As you turn me around, Oh I long for the day
|
| Solo:
|
| Verse III:
|
| The last of the ramblin' boys has lost his way
|
| In these broken times
|
| They sold off your story and they stole your rage
|
| With this heart of mine
|
| They pulled you from your sleep and they covered up your name
|
| Now on Sundays they pray to see you again
|
| I go out walking in the cold Irish rain
|
| I go out walking in the cold Irish rain
|
| I go out walking in the cold Irish rain…
|
| In the rain, in the rain. |
