I wore out my welcome as the days grew thin In this Belfast town It's like I've been waitin' 'til my life begins And love comes around I wander through the streets and I see them look away The wind hits my bones as they whisper your name I go out walking in the cold Irish rain Fed up with the landlord comin' down my door With his poison gaze I've stared out his window and I've walked the floor Of this sorry place I'll take comfort in the cold until I find my faith again Oh God know I've tried but I just can't fit in I go out walking in the cold Irish rain What I'd give to see the sun on your face To lose myself, in a long embrace How I'd love to hear the band start to play As you turn me around, Oh I long for the day The last of the ramblin' boys has lost his way In these broken times They sold off your story and they stole your rage With this heart of mine They pulled you from your sleep and they covered up your name Now on Sundays they pray to see you again I go out walking in the cold Irish rain I go out walking in the cold Irish rain I go out walking in the cold Irish rain... In the rain, in the rain.
