Raincoat & A Rose Lyrics - 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 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
