I'm sitting 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
A sick mother and 4 younger kids
Now you're all ready for rich lovers
May the father in heaven forgive
So I'll keep waiting for that train
To bring you back to me
Even if our love could never be
I'll be standin' in the rain
Oh, whoa, whoa, yeah, yeah
I've waited so long to see you
Your ivory fingers and toes
Curly hair and lashes
And the 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 waiting for that train
To bring you back to me
Even if our love could never be
I'll be standin' in the rain
Even if our love could never be
I'll be standin' in the rain
So I'll keep waiting for that train
To bring you back to me
Even if our love could never be
I'll be standin' in the rain
Even if our love could never, never be
I'll be standin' in the rain
Even if our love could never be
I'll be standin' in the rain
Unh, unh, unh, unh, unh
Unh, unh, unh, unh, unh
Unh, unh, unh, unh, unh
Unh, unh, unh, unh, unh
I'll keep standin'
I'll keep sandin'
