I dreamed that I was a sailor
John Pilgrim was my name
I sailed a ship out of Bristol town
Headed for the coast of Maine
To me she was a queen
My love she was a young girl
Her daddy was rich I was poor
She was just seventeen
I held her close beside me
And I told her my goodbye
She was doomed to die
How could I know that within a year
Now my fortune is a legend
Won by force of arms
But I'd give it all up just to get her back
With all her woman's charms
And the rain falls down
And the rain falls down
And the rain falls down
On me...
The Lord came down to Moses
And he said "Now listen well,
Write these words in stone
As the thunder came crashing
When in truth I was only aching
And take them down to Israel"
I went reaching for my gun
To put an end to what I've become
When I woke up the sun was shining
And I knew that you're gone
I know I said that I didn't care
And I felt just like a soldier
Ah, but honey I was wrong
When I walked into your room
You said you'd never betray me
But you spoke too soon
And the rain falls down
And the rain falls down
On me...
And the rain falls down
Now the road goes on forever
And the sky it never ends
East to west and north to south
And as I lose my vision
And right back again
Like some leper refugee
Out of space and out of time
And out of destiny
The last time that I saw her
She was standing in the street
The crowd flowed all around her
Like a river at her feet
I remember how she looked at me
With her dark and haunted eyes
Like a saint throen to the fire
Stripped of all disguise
And the rain falls down
And the rain falls down
And the rain falls down
On me
