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       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       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       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.
