Rain (rain falling, always falling)
Pain (pain hurting, never-ending)
Tear (here comes tears of sorrow)
Fear (fear of today, tomorrow)
Cry (cry when there's no use crying)
Goodbye (goodbye there's no use trying)
It all runs together when your loved ones are gone

And your head spins in circles and you're lyin' with your face down in the rain
Salvation army band playin' in their all-night stand
Rain pourin' from the sky, blind people passin' by
No one will help 'em now, no one will even try
It all runs together

This is his time at last (this is his time) his life is fading fast
His faith is fled away (his faith is gone) he tries but cannot pray
This is the way we live (this is the way) we take and never give
It all runs together

Rain falling, always falling
Someone could have helped him but no one would try
'Cause their pride wouldn't let them and now he's gonna die there in the rain
Shall we gather at the rain? (shall we gather at the river?)
