Long ago a lonely man stood

Off of a quiet avenue

A pretty girl in passing chanced to look

That's when he fell, fell for you

I listen to the rain

Pounding on the railing

The beat's a sweet, soft refrain

of how he found you Lorraine

He's rocking on a porch you used to know

Here where he swore his love was true

He sips his drink and dreams the days of old

Of when he fell, fell for you

I listen to the rain...
