Harlem Rain

[Intro] [Verse 1] The old man down on the corner is drowning in his pain I can see the sorrow in his eyes his tears they leave a stain The streets have left him broken he’s in the final phase Its been a long hard road from his glory days [Verse 2] There’s a tattoo of his sweetheart fading on his arm He talks of painful tragedy how he lost his lucky charm His memory is clouded from the thunder in this veins He’s vanishing vanishing gone in the Harlem rain [Chorus] Harlem rain coming down another shattered soul in the lost and found One more night on the streets of pain getting washed away by the Harlem rain [Verse 3] On desperation avenue the devil takes his toll Where the pushers and the poverty slowly claim your soul When you reached the realization that you just can’t break the chain no You’re vanishing vanishing gone in the Harlem rain [Chorus] Harlem rain coming down another shattered soul in the lost and found One more night on the streets of pain getting washed away by the Harlem rain [Solo] [Verse 4] In your search for tender mercy no one seemed to care The faith that used to be your crutch is now your cross to bear You lost yourself so long ago you don’t know who to blame You’re vanishing vanishing gone vanishing vanishing gone Vanishing vanishing gone in the Harlem rain.
