Raincoat and a Rose - Chris Rea

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 chance

'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
