Songtext Another man’s rain Jackie Leven

Another man’s rain

[Verse 1]
Way out here on the ocean,
Fifty fathom down,
I hear voices tune in from America,
In some kind of human chain.
In some dark Atlantic pain.

[Chorus 1]
Suddenly I'm ten thousand miles away,
Standing in another man's rain,
Standing in another man's rain,
Standing in another man's rain.

[Verse 2]
Every man has his flower,
Though he knows it or not,
From the mighty old English rose,
To the humble "forget-me-not".
Humble "forget-me-not".

[Verse 3]
I'm standing in a working class gay bar in Hamburg,
Drinking ice-cold beer,
Men quietly talking to each other,
How did I get here?
Eeh, how did I get here.

[Verse 4]
I look out the ancient window,
It's Christmas time in the streets,
I see women shopping,
Some are broken, some are chique,

[Chorus 2]
Some have got the North sea pain,
From standing in another man's rain,
Standing in another man's rain,
Standing in another man's rain,

[Verse 5]
I took a train from Oslo to Bergen,
In beautiful summer heat,
At the top of the line we stood by a glacier,
I was tasting a private defeat,
Tasting a private defeat.

[Verse 6]
Than me and Frank got back on board,
I drank some more French wine,
We let the sun and the snow and we thawed in a berg,


[Chorus 3]
And I was standing in another man's rain,
I was standing in another man's rain,
I was standing in another man's rain,

[Verse 7]
Someone I knew once told me,
Said I should beware,
Said my girl had secret clothes,
She wore when I was not there,


[Chorus 4]
And some of them were stained,
From standing in another man's rain.


[Verse 8]
And when I asked her about it,
She said: "You're the one to blame",
"You left me on my own,
"And I could not stand the shame"
"Nor could I feel you again",
"And yes, I wore secret clothes",
"And I could not bear the pain",
"You left me standing",
"Standing in another man's rain",
"Standing in another man's rain".
