God bless the raincoat and the woman who wore it
And God bless the rain as it fell on her shoulders
And God bless the taxi that let me hold her that night
On these streets that I'm walking I feel a deep grieving
That I never talk to her while she's sleeping
But that doesn't stop me from hoping I'm in her dreams
Where she leans in to hear
Away from the thunder
Some small distant voice
That's about to go under
And I make not a noise
But I can't help but wonder
If this is a dream
And I'm deaf to the screams
Ain't it funny how it seems to go around in circles
Leave you dizzy and bruised your body black and broken
Yet you go all in until you can't raise a thing
God bless the raincoat and the woman who wore it
And God bless the rain as it fell on her shoulders
And God bless the taxi that let me hold her that night
