RAIN

Key of A

In January, 2010, Shinseki pointed out that 20 percent of some 30,000 suicides in the US each year are committed by veterans, which means that an average of 18 veterans commit suicide each day.

 

 

Was it yesterday it rained?

Grey skies falling slow, it rained

Hidden in the leaves you couldn't see

Where he was lying in the rain

 

People drive their cars around the town

They love to drive all over town

Out to nightclubs and cafes

He's lying there in the rain

 

Wonder how many really care?

Not so many really care

When the war is finally done

Guess he doesn't matter any more

 

Still the time is passing by

I guess that no one's gonna try

To touch his face or hold his hand

Soldier boy dead in the rain.
