Liner Notes

I had the title and 4 lines for this but could not find a focus. In my head it was a 'you left me and I'm sad' piece. This morning I realised the focus is the weather. So here's another rapidly finished #acousticonetake

Lyrics

‘ALONE IN THE RAIN’

As I wandered lonely
A looming gloomy cloud
Wrapped around me
A dank heavy shroud

Caught in it’s shadow
Blocking light and sound
Wispy edges flapping like a flag
Thunder rolling loud

Lost and bewildered
When it began to pour
Don’t want to be alone
In the rain any more

Wind bit like bullets
Through the dismal day
Threatened another deluge
That could carry me away

Don’t know what doing out here
Damn weather is so unkind
Shivering and unhappy
In danger of losing my mind

Must be looking for someone
Or for something than will help
To find a way out of here
Help me find myself

Lost and bewildered
When it began to pour
Don’t want to be alone
In the rain any more
Don’t want to be alone
In the rain any more

Nice allusion to Wordsworth at the start and I particularly liked the imagery of that second verse, actually I think the whole lyric is strong. The wintry musical feel really suits the mood. Kudos too on that closing riff, very effective.
