written by David Munyon, S.P. Standley, Rick Hardtke You walked back from the mini-mart said "why the long face" Squinted up your eyes tried to make me laugh, too late I was off in another world where time won't erase Just sittin' here looking at the rain We met in a bar, while on leave on the coast You were wearing your class A's with that issue wool coat Your saucer cap, was titled back on your head Just sittin' there looking at the rain Almost made touch down, didn't we Almost won the game Waiting the whole life For another chace again I met you hiking on U.S. 92 I was stepping oft cause I kinda lost my shoes And all of those cars and trucks looking at us too Both of us standing there whistling the Blues Remember that cafe, on the islands of Crete The manager chased us all the way down the street Said we were surely welcomed, then you fell in love Spent the rest of the midnight lookin' up above You quit reading papers in 1972 Why read about it there'S nothing I can do We never did hear of the Sergeant Major the change We were kinda lost there, Lookin' at the rain We were kinda lost there, Lookin' at the rain We were kinda lost there, Lookin' at the rain David Munyon: vocal, guitar Chris Jones: guitar, dobro Hans-Jörg Maucksch: bass
