Winding down the Drury Lane I fall with the evening rain My thoughts with the water flow Like steam rising off the road
Passers-by watch their step To see that they don't get wet And I'll just sit beneath this tree Let the drops fall all over me And watch the city lights flick on
The crowds collide just out of my reach The taxi's lights flash up and down the street I sit and watch the faces go by I don't wonder where to or why
Cos it's me the rain my warm dark pain Alone at ease and nowhere at all My thoughts just drift on back to you It seems you're here so it must be true We never parted you never went away
So I order up another glass Not to let the moment pass Turning around in love with you Oh I know you loved me too And it's always been this way
Here sitting in my wet cafe I catch a spark across the way A string of tiny painted bells Seem to have a tale to tell
A string of tiny painted bells On someone that I once knew well Is all that's left The rest's not true I smile I see it's really you The rain will go And you will too
And I order up another glass Not to let the moment pass Turning around in love with you Oh it got too hard to do And it's always been this way Yes it's always been this way
