I look to the ground and I notice once more
The ground is quite moist, I've sat here before
I look back to see yesterday is so far
Not knowing, what tomarrow, may have in store

It's rainning today, but what else is new ?
This place always serves that quite hurtful stew
What could I have done that would keep me from this ?
But no, there wasn't a thing I could do

You would not believe it unless you were here
Returning one day was my ultimate fear
That dark lonesome place called "That old rainy spot "
Where it pours 365 days a year

I should not be here, but somewhere we choked
It is my conclusion that I was provoked
But how does not change that this rain hurts so bad
I stand here alone and I'm thoroughly soaked

I wish everyday, that we had not fought
Should I let this slide?? No, I cannot
And now I can see where my safe haven lies
It is here, alone, at  "That Old rainy spot"
