Rea, Chris - Raincoat And A Rose Lyrics






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

    I saw Chris Rea and his band live in 1979 supporting Lindesfarne at St. Georges Hall Bradford. I had never heard of him. He sang this and I have never forgotten how much it touched me, especially when the guy played the accordian.After that of course, the rest is history. I hope Chris is keeping well, and I thank him for his fantastic music and lyrics.x
