England Dan & John Ford Coley - Soldier In The Rain Lyrics






The morning clouds are gathering around
As I stand on the bridge of the river
Years have gone since I was here
And I wonder how I differ
Taxi cabs keep rolling by
And a blind man asks for change
And here I stand a soldier in the rain.

Coming home was all I thought of...
Seeing my family and friends
They say love knows no distance
But the longing never ends
And all along the dreams I possessed
My heart never were to plain
And here I stand a soldier in the rain

I remember years ago
I had so many plans
And now I watch the river flow
Time has brought me here
With empty hands

I remember years ago
I had so many plans
And now I watch the river flow
Time has brought me here
With empty hands

The morning clouds are gathering around
And the streets are full of reflections
A traffic light and the moon still bright
People going in different directions
I've thought about why I'm here
Its just too hard to explain
And here I stand a soldier in the rain
In the rain...

    This song really means a lot to me this song is 1 of my Dad's favorite songs from England Dan and John Ford Coley this song is what made him quit his power line job and join the airforce when he was in his early twenties. He told me this in 2017. The Air Force moved him to Ohio from Maine if he did not join he probably would not have met my Mom.

  45. R.... D....

    All of us that have left for war, and made it home understand this song. "You can't go home again." Because you've changed, home has changed, and what you remember is gone forever. It's a lonely, melancholy feeling.

  46. C.... ....

    One of England Dan and John's most lovely tunes! Thanks for posting! Rest in peace, England Dan! :(

  47. a.... ....

    ABC,CBS,NBC,CNN and liberals don't want to make america great again....using soldiers dying to attack our president.

    a.... ....

    Don't you dare use our current politics to tarnish this beautiful piece of music.

  48. G.... S....

    Beautiful song and two greats musicians

  49. M.... S....

    I know this song, it's meanings. We go away to war and when we come back those we love the most look at us differently. We want to be seen as just us but inside we've changed and don't know where or how to fit in. We're outsiders in our own homes.

    M.... S....

    Thank you for your service, sir

    M.... S....

    Amen, brother. You've said it very well. God bless all who have served. Only we know the sacrifice.

    M.... S....

    This says it better than I ever could. God bless you. What a terrible time for a vet. Most of us leave even though support is offered cause they don't what to offer, maybe because we didn't know what we needed or maybe as you said we were such strangers In our own homes. God bless all who fought.

  50. M.... G....

    Saddest song in my book..

    M.... G....

    SCIENCE MAGIC PHILIPPINES

    M.... G....

    SCIENCE MAGIC PHILIPPINES

  51. A.... G....

    This song reminds me of very special person when I was working at the TDO of an institution which hired me before i left wishing her all the best.....I miss you so much JKMM

  52. J.... F....

    the tym has brought me here with and empty hands

  53. R.... M....

    My favorite

  54. M.... S....

    most of us experienced this, we may have many plans before but sometimes we came out empty handed. great music about lifes struggle.

    M.... S....
