A story of loneliness and pain
It starts one night in the rain
Stare, stare out the window pane
Cry out loud, shout in vain

Hey there - is it me you're looking for?
Did you hear Lionel around the record Store?
Did you hear me humming that day on the train?
Or share my table at that crowded cafe?
Did we smile in passing the other day?
Did you find me now, to help share your pain?

Well I'm here now, you there, yes - you!
Come in from the cold, mister
Come in, sit down by the fire, sister
Warm your hands, while I play an old folk song
About soul mates who searched too long

They saw their soul stars, and followed them
Followed them home to many a friend
They stopped a while, but hurried on their way
Kept on searching day after day after day

Until the light faded in the sky
Their star lingered no more
And their spark had grown cold
While their hearts had grown old
And they thought back to that soul
At the window pane
Calling out to them, that night
In the rain..!
