Caught Out in the Rain

THANKS for all the listens and encouragement! I might get the hang of this stuff yet...
I start this tune with the sound of rain, so I feel a little silly saying that I've always thought the "rain" here is a metaphor. Or...maybe not. Hope you enjoy it either way. Stay dry out there!

Caught out in the rain
With so far left to walk
To get to the train
You know, it’s not your fault
You cry to the wind
And simply close your eyes
They open again
To see the stormy skies

You must make it work
No matter the cost
You’ll only get hurt
Or you will get lost
You wander down the one-way street
You find it going west not east
You turn around
What’s that sound?
You can’t make it out
You’re havin’ some doubt
You see the water circlin’ the drain
You’re caught out in the rain, caught out in the rain
The cars all start to hydroplane
You’re caught out in the rain, caught out in the rain

Thought you’d be clever
And cut through the alley
But all this weather
Is turning out badly
Your boots get so wet
And splash in the puddle
You’ll never forget
You’re in so much trouble

You must make it work
No matter the cost
It clings to your shirt
Like an albatross
You run on down the busy street
Past the buildings and concrete
You spin around
What’s that sound?
You can’t make it out
Like a muffled shout
They’re hidin’ behind the windowpane
You’re caught out in the rain, caught out in the rain
It feels more like a hurricane
You’re caught out in the rain, caught out in the rain

Bought you a raincoat
That was yellow but clear
With a matching tote
Then the clouds disappear
The sun starts to shine
And it is yours alone
You glance at the time
As you walk on home…

You must make it work
Caught out in the rain
Caught out in the rain
Caught out in the rain
You must make it work
No matter the cost
