Fool in the Rain

by Robert Plant

There's a light in your eye that keeps shining
Like a star that can't wait for a night
I hate to think I've been blinded
Why can't I see you tonight?
And the warmth of your smile starts burning
And the thrill of your touch gives me fright
And I'm shaking so much, really yearning
Why don't you show up and make it alright?

And if you promised you'd love so completely
And you said you would always be true
You swore that you never would leave me
Whatever happened to you?
And you thought it was only in movies
As you wish all your dreams would come true
It ain't the first time, believe me
I'm standing here feeling blue

Now I will stand in the rain on the corner
I watch the people go shuffling downtown
Another ten minutes, no longer
And then I'm turning around
And the clock on the wall's moving slower
My heart, it sinks to the ground
And the storm that I thought would blow over
Clouds the light of the love that I found

Hand that ticks on the clock
Just don't seem to stop
When I'm thinking it over

Tired of the light
I just don't seem to find
Have you wait, get away

I see it in my dreams
But I just don't seem to be with you
I gotta get it all

Now my body is starting to quiver
And the palms of my hands getting wet
I got no reason to doubt you
It's all a terrible mess
And I'll run in the rain till I'm breathless
When I'm breathless, I'll run till I drop
The thoughts of a fool's kind of careless
I'm just a fool waiting on the wrong block
