Standing in the Rain

Dm

No use knocking on the window

C Dm

There is nothing we can do sir.

Dm

All the beds are booked allready

C Dm

There is nothing left for you sir.

Dm C Dm C

Standing in the rain, knocking on the window

Gm Dm C Dm

Knocking on the window on a christmas day.

Dm C Dm C

There he is again, knocking on the window,

Gm Dm C Dm

knocking on the window, the same old way.

No use knocking on the window,

some are lucky, some are not sir.

We are christian men and women,

but we're keeping what we've got sir.

Standing in the rain...

No we haven't got a manger,

no we haven't got a stable.

We are christian men and women,

allways willing – never able.

Standing in the rain...

Christ the Lord has gone to heaven,

one day he'll be coming back sir.

In this house he'll be welcome,

but we hope he won't be black sir.

Lige siden Johnny Wycliff har briterne haft en tradition for at være anti klerkiale uden at være anti religiøse. Denne sang er et smukt eksempel herpå.
