(Part 2) He wore a white gabardine and strolled in his own world the bullets came out of the guns and were dug into his shoulder he was a little muzzy he missed a step he thought "I am dead" and entered his tomb Then the killer came out holding a shotgun He shouted "What a great murder,yet they called me useless" Only the rain knows only the rain knows and sings a worldless song only the rain cries only the rain cries with a half song
(Part 1) He wore a white gabardine and strolled in his own world the shop window turned into pieces when it appeared in his way The siren cuts the night in two the cops' blocks enter the scene they wrapped him in the gabardine and threw him in a cage Only the rain knows only the rain knows and sings a worldless song only the rain cries only the rain cries with a half song He couldn't stand the jail he said "I'll escape" the tunnel guided him to an unreachable vacuum Wind enters his cage waking up all the guards they bet on his life if he escapes from them once more The gallons(insignia) they were wearing lost their pride they surrounded Athens with their lost reputation chasing a white gabardine Only the rain knows only the rain knows and sings a worldless song only the rain cries only the rain cries with a half song
Hi Romulus I saw you wanted to know the lyrics of the last song I posted in http://www.classicrockforums.com/forum/f4/rate-song-different-language-30156/index14.html Here,the meaning of the song for me,it has two sides,but every person can understand the lyrics in his own way,so this is my point of view. The one side is about the inability of the penitentiary system to rehabilitate prisoners rather than just punishing them.The other side is how the society misjudge people,in this case the police set up an entire operation to arrest an innocent man while the real killer was still out there,yet only the rain knew the truth.The victim in this song is described as "the white gabardine" the white color means innocence.
