Lyrics:
There are times when I've wondered
And times when I've cried
When my prayers they were answered
At times when I've lied
But if you ask me a question
Would I tell you the truth
Now there's something to bet on
You got nothing to lose
When I've sat by the window
And gazed at the rain
With an ache in my hea
