Jackie's waiting, on the roadside all alone
She's been waiting too long
Last night he promised, that together they would run
And he promised he'd come

She was always reaching out, and he offered her a hand to catch her fall
As the tears fall from her eyes on the rose from yesterday, her heart knows

Now there's a rose in the rain
Another child of love's been burned again
There's a rose in the rain
Another bird of love will never sing again

Now she stands there with her bags all packed and done
Left with nowhere, nowhere to run
All she longs for, is to hear it'll be alright
Even if its a lie

She was always reaching out, now there's noone left in sight to catch her fall
As the tears fall from her eyes on the rose from yesterday her heart knows

Now there's a rose in the rain
Another child of love's been burned again
There's a rose in the rain
Another bird of love will never sing again

Well believe me, you're not the only one, when it comes to love we're all the same
There are lessons that you never learn, love's just a game and nothing remains

Now there's a rose in the rain
Another child of love that's been betrayed again
There's a rose in the rain
Another bird of love that will never sing again
