Drizzlin' rain

on a rainy day
London an' Paris
are much the same
no use lookin'
for a better place
It's all drizzlin' rain

it is when I found him
at the station,
sittin' on a bench
last train went
waitin' for it to happen

alone in the dark
waitin'for some love
he knew nothin' about
was comin' 'round
puttin' on a show
makin' believe
he was a pro

he was afraid
to blow the game
I led him on
in his believe
he was makin' it all
with me

I taught him
what love was
when he left
he was spent
still it happened

he kept comin'
to that bench
now ev'ry night
he's comin'
takin' it all
takin' it in

learning fast
like a fish's first swim
he drained
all I know
in the rain

drizzlin' rain
in the surf of my life
got a man
took him down
in the rain

Comin' in

It's been a long time
catchin' up 'till we drop
in to a sweat we break
we know it'll never stop

it keeps us alive for those times
when again our light comes up
and shines

it's how we live an' live
it's how we give an' give
workin' the train again
for countless weeks an' days
will he come back in the rain

it's a lonely night
rain doesn't seem to lift
there's a train on the run
wonder when he's  comin' in

I just don't know, when he'll show
all I can do is wait
I hear the sound of the gate
I turn over and stay

I hear him turn in
now I'm wide awake
he stirs me with his imagination
leads me in to the early morning

I go down, come up again
back to where he is
inviting me to the same
I don't resist, it's been so long
I know  what I've missed

I get dressed, just for breakfast
sent the kids on their way
starting all over again
making up for all those days
wonder when he'll come agian

'Cause you're a stranger

 

 

 

 

 

you

 

drifted in to town, makin' noises

 

bein' loud

 

pollutin' our vieuw, bleedin' over our streets

 

loókin' in to windows

 

breakin' in to our privacy

 

is

 

one thing we don't need

 

what we need is you , makin' tracks into

 

eternity

 

 

so take your garbage

 

to the next train that leaves

 

we

 

don't want you to know, how we lay, live an' die

 

'cause your kind is rough, 'cause your kind is tough

 

we

 

don't want you about, 'cause you're a stranger

 

your eyes might see too much

 

we

 

have ways, you don't think of, they are ours

 

ones we'll keep

 

you

 

wouldn;t understand, you wouldn't like what you see

 

so

 

get out of this town

 

we

 

don't want you about

 

'cause

 

you're a stranger
