a statue in the park   of a soldier   a concert in the dark    of some sad overture   the writing on the signs   says stay behind the lines   and still we're all caught in the rain      headlights on parade   for the burial   underneath the granite   arch memorial   the traffic makes its way   past the barricade   and still we're all caught in the rain      the day goes by like a fire burning   past the point of no returning   leaving us here    caught in the rain      the feeling in the crowd of hysteria   is pushing on the fences and the barriers   the horses and police   strain to keep the peace   and still we're all caught in the rain   yes we're all caught in the rain      the day goes by like a fire burning   past the point of no returning   leaving us here    caught in the rain      i say to myself   i know you're out there staring at the moon   burning all your days away too soon to shine      the day goes by like a fire burning   past the point of no returning   leaving us here    caught in the rain
