Sit here in the rain
It happened there
By the old black drain
That the old man met his end

By knife or gun
They could not tell
Maybe they guessed
He could have fell

The only witness
Is so old and frail
His failing memory cannot
recall this tale

That night it rained
So long ago we tell
Under the black sky
The old man fell

No one knows
That fatefull night
If indeed
their was a fight

Wether the old man
Tripped and fell
Or wether anothers hand
sent him to hell

The old man is forgot
Know in the rain
The killer is lost
to police and pain

I tell you now
I know his name
That fatefull night
Of the killer, in the Rain

But i have travelled
And i have seen
And i have loved
What i have been

So the the name
Of the killer untold
Will stay with me
Beyond when i am old

Pride of place in the human race goes to one without a trace,
of subtlety style ego or grace for this position, I wish to say, i would be proud as i am greater than any other face in the crowd

Dark and intriguing......Has me wondering, if someone witnessed such a thing, they should tell the police. A life was lost and the criminal should pay accordingly. Anyway, I enjoyed this as I always do Walter, you intrigue me if you want to know the truth. Such thoughts

Let your heart guide you. It whispers, so listen closely.

Who says it wasn't the killers tale
Or the old man who is speak from accross the grave,

Or perhaps the person believes the ghosts of the past are better left for the sake of the family.

Maybe the old man was in the wrong and the killer was acting in self defence.

Who knows only the narrater
