"Raincoat And A Rose" lyrics

Raincoat And A Rose

Rain, tears of joy
Tears of pain
Is this really me
Standing here
At the station
The card said I mustn't be late
I've never been late
I've never really had the chance
Years and years
And not even wanting a second dance
Look for a raincoat and a rose

I hope no one sees
They'll laugh I know
He was always like that
Yes it always showed
Did I do something wrong
To have to pay
In many more ways than one
Rainy day
What do I say
How simple it's all become

Love is for fools
And fools have no grace
Damn them while you can
Out here on the fence
Is such a lonely place
I wish I was foolish now
The greatest of pain
Is never really knowing
Maybe today
I'll find out this way
The way that I'm going
Look for a raincoat and a rose
