Grew up listening the the Humble Pie version on the fantastic "Thunderbox" album and never knew the song was a cover until I visited the Rock and Soul Museum in Memphis in 2015!
This was part of an epic trip my cousin and I did that we called our "Southern Swing." Her bucket list item was Graceland; mine was Ivy Green, the birthplace and home of Helen Keller. (She laughed so hard when I got into it with then lady running the gift shop about how angry it makes me that nobody ever wants to discuss HK's politics/activism - she was NOT just an advocate for the disabled, but for all human rights. She supported the Eugene Debs campaign and helped found the ACLU!)
We also went to see the historic FAME recording studio in Muscle Shoals. The civil rights museum that they have erected at the Lorraine Motel was one of the most moving things I've ever seen in my life and I left it SOBBING with emotion.
It makes me very sad to think that I would not feel safe making that trip now.

(2,696 posts)until I looked the song up on Google because I couldn't remember who sang it; plus I wanted to be sure it wasn't the same song as "Walking in the Rain" by Jay and the Americans, which had already been mentioned in the replies to your post. I try not duplicate responses.

(54,988 posts)Of the lovers up and down the strand
In the sound of the waves and the cries
Of the seagulls circling the sand
In the fragments of the songs
Carried down the wind from some radio
In the murmuring of the city in the distance
Ominous and low
I hear the sound of a world where we played
And the far too simple beauty
Of the promises we made
If you ever need holding
Call my name and I'll be there
If you ever need holding
And no holding back, I'll see you through
Sky blue and black
Where the touch of the lover ends
And the soul of the friend begins
There's a need to be separate and a need to be one
And a struggle neither wins
Where you gave me the world I was in
And a place I could make a stand
I could never see how you doubted me
When I'd let go of your hand
Yeah, and I was much younger then
And I must have thought that I would know
If things were gonna end
And the heavens were rolling
Like a wheel on a track
And our sky was unfolding
And it'll never fold back
Sky blue and black
And I'd have fought the world for you (I'd have fought the world for you)
If I thought that you wanted me too (thought that you wanted me too)
Or put aside what was true or untrue (true or untrue)
If I'd known that's what you needed (if I'd known that's what you need)
What you needed me to do
But the moment has passed by me now
To have put away my pride
And just come through for you somehow
If you ever need holding
Call my name and I'll be there
If you ever need holding
And no holding back, I'll see you through (sky)
You're the color of the sky
Reflected in each store-front window pane
You're the whispering and the sighing
Of my tires in the rain
You're the hidden cost and the thing that's lost
In everything I do
Yeah and I'll never stop looking for you
In the sunlight and the shadows
And the faces on the avenue
That's the way love is
That's the way love is
That's the way love is
Sky, sky blue and black
