In for Rain
Drenched in Heartache: Lorrie Morgan's 'In for Rain' Meaning
Lyrics
Once again, here I stand
Expressing the speaker's recurrent situation, standing alone once again.
Left out in the cold
Feeling excluded and emotionally distant, as if left out in the cold.
Dreams of love are all that's left
Highlighting that only dreams of love remain in the speaker's current emotional landscape.
Dreams our heart took on
Reflecting on the dreams that the speaker's heart once embraced.
My memories can't shelter me
Acknowledging that memories cannot provide solace or protection from emotional pain.
From all these clouds of pain
Describing the emotional burden the speaker carries, using the metaphor of clouds of pain.
It's a cryin' shame
Expressing sorrow or regret over the situation.
But I'm in for rain again
Anticipating and accepting the inevitability of facing emotional turmoil (rain) once again.
Looks like I'm in for rain again
Reiterating the expectation of encountering emotional hardship, symbolized by rain.
I feel the same old cloud I felt before it start movin' in
Sensing the return of familiar emotional difficulties, represented by a looming cloud.
Lost in love before but swore this time that I would win

It's a cryin' shame

But I'm in for rain again

When my storm is through and I'm over you

I'll reach for love again
Expressing the intention to pursue love again after overcoming the current emotional turmoil.
Try to just forget my past
Attempting to forget past emotional pain and hardships.
And pray one day I win

But for today, skies are gray

And all the clouds remain
