Watchin that bloody rain as it falls

I had an hour or so this evening as the wife had a friend over I disappeared down the cellar and started to think about my old man he’s been gone now twenty one years and how in his old age when I used to go and see him I’d find him sitting pondering in front of the window in the lounge smoking a roll up….

Watching the bloody rain as it falls
Father sits by the window in an old tattered chair
Smoking roll ups in quiet despair
Pondering on that life that he’s had
Working hard to stand still
bringing up the kids
Looking after everyone
Apart from him
Watching the rain as it falls
Watching that bloody. rain as it falls

He sits he dreams of winning the lottery
To escape his life of monotony
Looking out at that same old scenery
Where nothing every seems to have changed for a century
Remembering Working hard to stand still bringing up the kids
Looking after everyone
Apart from him
Watching the rain as it falls
Watching that bloody rain as it falls

Another day turns around on him again
He finds himself sitting just the same
Watching those grey clouds come over the horizon
Remembering Working hard to stand still bringing up the kids
Looking after everyone
Apart from him
Watching the rain as it falls
Watching that bloody rain as it falls

Remembering Working hard to stand still bringing up the kids
Looking after everyone
Apart from him
Watching the rain as it falls
Watching that bloody. rain as it falls
Watching the rain as it falls
Watching that bloody. rain as it falls
Watching that bloody rain as it falls
