COME IN FROM THE RAIN

I CAN SEE THAT YOU ARE HURTING 
EVEN FEEL YOUR PAIN,
THE TEARS ON YOUR CHEEKS 
IS A DEAD GIVE AWAY,
SO PLEASE, COME IN FROM THE RAIN.

YOU HAVE SHARED YOUR HEART’S DESIRES,
WITH MY SOUL, SO MANY TIMES,
YOUR MANY DAYS OF FRUSTRATION,
AND YOUR WEARY, AND TROUBLED MIND.

I TRIED MY BEST TO HELP YOU,
LATE AT NIGHT, AND IN THE EARLY MORN,
BUT ALL YOU DO IS COMPLAIN,
WHEN ITS SO EASY…
TO COME IN FROM THE RAIN.

YOU LISTEN SO ATTENTIVELY 
TO EVERY WORD I SAY,
BUT YOU CHOOSE TO REMAIN IN LIFE’S ELEMENTS, 
WHEN THERE IS SHELTER, FROM THE RAIN.

WILFORD BARKER.
