lyrics

There comes a time in Autumn skies
Before the wind or even clouds
When birds know
They know that soon a storm will break
Nothing moves but they know
There comes a time in lovers’ eyes
Before they kiss or even touch
When they know
They know the other loves them too
Nothing’s said but they know

And still sometimes in the dark
He sees her face again
From all those years ago
And all those years again
When she was someone else’s wife
And he was waiting for the rain
And oh when they kissed behind the chapel door
It rained rainbows on his head
And how the stones still echo every word he said
He said ‘I will love you till the day I die
I will love you like a hooligan
I will smash the windows of your heart
And steal your days away from him’
Do you remember him sitting there

In his room in that small hotel
Hearing footsteps climb the stair
And it could be
Marie Pepe or anyone
But he knows that it’s her
And they walk to that small cafe
Where she says ‘just speak to me’
And he says
‘The sun is out yet still it’s cold’
And they know they both know

And still sometimes in the dark
He sees her face again
From all those years ago
And all those years again
When she was someone else’s wife
And he was waiting for the rain
And oh when they kissed behind the chapel door
It rained rainbows on his head
And how the stones still echo every word he said
He said ‘I will love you till the day I die
I will love you like a hooligan
I will smash the windows of your heart
And steal your days away from him’
Do you remember him?

And my you’re looking well
The years have been kind
Since when your cheek once blushed
At the insistence of my kiss
Behind the chapel door as outside the rain
Began to fall
