Mothers won't see their boys any more more
Women won't see there husbands walk through that door
Children won't have there daddy's for Christmas day
No more celebrations for the living on New Year's Day
Standing on the wharf watch the clouds wash in
Scanning the horizon looking for smoke stacks
Knowing there none to come
I'll be watching n waiting knowing I'll be alone
Watching for my dad knowing he'll be home on New Year's Day
Cry cry crying in the rain
Cry cry crying on New Year's Day
Mommy came down and wrapped her arms around so tight
We both sat quietly watching as rain hid the tears
Both of us knowing yesterday came to soon
We weren't the only ones as others waited for their man
In the rain
