lyrics

I lied last night in the rain
And you cried last night all the same
If I could do it all again
I’d lie through my teeth and be damned
You would have gone away all the same
But these things happen when you don’t have a plan
So I lied last night in the rain

I gave you my coat and you gave me a smile
A brief flash of triumph, like you’d passed a trial
Hunching my shoulders, shirt stuck to my back
Trying not to shiver, soaked to the skin
But you made me laugh, you always had the knack
Of summing up my life in that crooked grin
So I gave you my coat and you gave me a smile

You broke open a kit-kat and gave me a half
As you ate yours in one mouthful, I started to laugh
That platform for a second became a shrine
To what we’d once had, and what might still be
The chocolate was blessed, our bread and wine
A show of faith, we believed in you and me
So I lied last night in the rain
