IN THE WHITE ROOM WITH BLACK CURTAINS NEAR THE STATION
BLACK-ROOF COUNTRY, NO GOLD PAVEMENTS, TIRED STARLINGS
SILVER HORSES RAN DOWN MOONBEAMS IN YOUR DARK EYES
DAWN LIGHT SMILES ON YOU LEAVING, MY CONTENTMENT
I'LL WAIT IN THIS PLACE WHERE THE SUN NEVER SHINES
WAIT IN THIS PLACE WHERE THE SHADOWS RUN FROM THEMSELVES
YOU SAID NO STRINGS COULD SECURE YOU AT THE STATION
PLATFORM TICKET, RESTLESS DIESELS, GOODBYE WINDOWS
I WALKED INTO SUCH A SAD TIME AT THE STATION
AS I WALKED OUT, FELT MY OWN NEED JUST BEGINNING
I'LL WAIT IN THE QUEUE WHEN THE TRAINS COME BACK
LIE WITH YOU WHERE THE SHADOWS RUN FROM THEMSELVES
AT THE PARTY SHE WAS KINDNESS IN THE HARD CROWD
CONSOLATION FOR THE OLD WOUND NOW FORGOTTEN
YELLOW TIGERS CROUCHED IN JUNGLES IN HER DARK EYES
SHE'S JUST DRESSING, GOODBYE WINDOWS, TIRED STARLINGS
I'LL SLEEP IN THE PLACE WITH THE LONELY CROWD

WHO'LL STOP THE RAIN Credence Clearwater Revival (1970)
written by John Fogarty
LONG AS I REMEMBER THE RAIN BEEN COMIN' DOWN
CLOUDS OF MYST'RY POURIN' CONFUSION ON THE GROUND
GOOD MEN THROUGH THE AGES TRYIN' TO FIND THE SUN
AND I WONDER, STILL I WONDER WHO'LL STOP THE RAIN
I WENT DOWN VIRGINIA SEEKIN' SHELTER FROM THE STORM
CAUGHT UP IN THE FABLE I WATCHED THE TOWER GROW
FIVE YEAR PLANS AND NEW DEALS WRAPPED IN GOLDEN CHAINS
AND I WONDER, STILL I WONDER WHO'LL STOP THE RAIN
HEARD THE SINGERS PLAYIN' HOW WE CHEERED FOR MORE
THE CROWD HAD RUSHED TOGETHER TRYIN' TO KEEP WARM
STILL THE RAIN KEPT POURIN' FALLIN' ON MY EARS
AND I WONDER, STILL I WONDER WHO'LL STOP THE RAIN
