WHERE THE SHADOWS FALL LIKE RAIN
W/M: Bob Bennett

Out where the shadows fall like rain
Somebody′s staring through a window pane
A cupboard's empty and a baby howls
It drowns out the rumble of his belly growls

Someone′s kid brother robs a liquor store
And he gets more action than he bargains for
Today's headlines and tomorrow's fish wrap
Another John Doe in the cold steel trap

And out where the shadows fall like rain I′m shining this light again and again


Somewhere crosstown in a look-alike house
A drunken lion beats a frightened mouse
Bruises on the body and the mind as well
Tomorrow she′ll swear that she only fell

Family man in the welfare line
His pride dies slow, one check at a time
Wolf at the door on the leash of the Reaper
'Cause no one really wants to be his brother′s keeper

And out where the shadows fall like rain I reach out my hand again and again

Out where the shadows fall like rain
Somebody's staring through a window in pain...

(March 1983)
