Lyrics
walking home from the cinema
on a warm & wintry night
I pause not a moment in my steps up north
to the ballroom filled with light
but my umbrella I kept open
though it rained not one drop down
& I thought like I thought for the last two hours
when ya gonna come round
I have loved you longer than I have ever told you
& more than I could ever ever tell you now
when tell me when will I meet your eyes again
when will raindrops fall back down
I don't wanna cry in some other girl's arms
bout some other other girl who's not you
but in your smile meet your gold brown eyes
& ask to marry you
careful careful we began to care
when we'd see each other soon
I can't even say what one visit means
it's a jewel to visit you
but I keep those jewels in an old gray box
where they tarnish red & brown
I will crack that lid give it one long look
then lower it back down
every soggy step I take
leaves a great big hole in the ground
if these small steps never lead to you
might as well just lay back down
I don't wanna wander the whole world over
wondering what I'm supposed to do
but in your town set my guitar down
& ask to marry you
I don't wanna stay here brattle & bray here
til my face & hands turn blue
alone aground in this rainy damn town
screaming cross the sky for you
the others they ignore me they scold & avoid me
they scramble at my sound
& all my cries whether wet or dry
not one gets off the ground
sometimes I think I see the future
but with you it's crowded round
I can't see what tomorrow holds
I'm so scared I'll let you down
I don't wanna plead here on bended knee here
to tell me when you're next coming through
but in touch one day though the sky'll be gray
I'll ask to marry
