I'm sittin' back and I'm thinkin' about
When you left your only home
Your note said you went to Charleston
But I know you went to New Mexico
You left behind a dead father
Sick mother and four younger kids
Now you're already four rich lovers
May the father in heaven forbid
So I'll keep waitin' for that train
To bring you back to me
Even if our love could never be
I'll keep standin' in the rain
I waited so long to see you
Your ivory fingers and toes
Curly hair and lashes
And a cheek of a red velvet rose
Pink lace and satin dresses
Will be waitin' here for you
Pretty shoes and bonnets
And a love from me to you
So I'll keep waitin' for that train
To bring you back to me
Even if our love could never be
I'll keep standin' in the rain
Even if our love could never be
I'll keep standin' in the rain
So I'll keep waitin' for that train
To bring you back to me
Even if our love could never be
I'll keep standin' in the rain
Even if our love could never, never be
I'll keep standin' in the rain
Even if our love could never be
I'll keep standin' in the rain
