Summer’s Rain Lyrics

Standing alone in a dream
Where nothing is real
But oh how real it feels
There were times I lost my way
I was alone, lost in a haze
Where are you now
I'll find you somehow

And do I stand alone
Like a fool out in the rain
Hanging on somehow
To an ancient vow
Where there's nothing left to gain
And do you know
How it feels inside
To be all alone
A fool and his pride

Scars are the wounds that we show
Time only heals
When you're letting go
Many nights I'd lay awake
Tossing and turning till daybreak
Where are you now
I'll find you somehow
And do I stand alone
Like a fool out in the rain
Hanging on somehow
To an ancient vow
Where there's nothing left to gain
And do you know
How it feels inside
To be all alone
A fool and his pride

In a summer's rain
In a summer's rain
In a summer's rain
In a summer's rain

Sometimes you got to believe
Beyond yesterday
I'm gonna find my way
In the summer's rain

Genius Annotation

Lead singer Jon Oliva explained in Holland edition Aardschok/Metal Hammer February 1990: “‘Summer’s Rain’ gets deeper into the relationship between Timmy and his girlfriend from ‘Mentally Yours’ (the previous track on Gutter Ballet). Timmy already is twisted, but when he finds out that she’s cheating on him he totally loses control. In the end, she leaves him and Timmy ends up in a mental institution. Like I said, totally made up, but these things happen all the time here in the States. By the way, the title of this song IS ‘Summer’s Rain’ and not ‘Stand Alone’ like I’ve read in a couple of reviews. The record company made a mistake and put the wrong title on the tapes.
