All the rain came down on a cold new town
As he carried you away
From your father's hand that always seemed like a fist
Reaching out to make you pay

He came like a hero from the factory floor
With the sun and moon as gifts
But the only son you ever saw
Were the two he left you with

Oh lord where did the feeling go
Oh lord I never felt so low

Now the skirts hang so heavy around your head
That you never knew you were young
Because you played chance with a lifetime's romance
And the price was far too long

Oh lord where did the feeling go
Oh lord I never felt so low
