I had troubles aplenty,
My pockets were empty
From livin’ out on the sidewalk
Footsteps takin’ me nowhere,
But where can you go when you don’t know
What it is you’re lookin’ for?

Just as I was a desperate man
You made the sun start to shine,
You said,"baby, come in from the rain"

You could see down the stitches and patches
That were holdin’ me together,
So with stolen faces, hand in hand,
We made footsteps together for musicland

Used to be I had troubles aplenty,
My pockets were empty, yeah,
From the bad life on the back streets
But when your footsteps are takin’ you nowhere
Where can you go and what can you do
When you don’t know what you’re lookin’ for?

Hey, just as I reached the real world
You made the sun start to shine,
You said,"baby, come in out of the rain"
Oh, yeah, I said you made the sun start to shine,
Oh, baby, come in from the rain
