Pouring Rain

I'm standing in the street past midnight
To look up at your window, second floor, left hand side
The lights are on, I think that you're inside
Sitting by the bedside
And I hope that you think of me
Grab a second cup when you pour your tea
And look out for me below, out the window
While I wait in the pouring rain

Tell me, does it come day by day
Or is it something that always stays
I need to know so I can make it ok
Will it ever be ok?
Is it something I can't escape?
Something I want to rush
Something I want to touch
Every time I need to go
There's something telling me to stay

I want to hold you, be near you
And Venus claimed, but I was away
She sent a letter in the mail but didn't make it
We were too busy today
Your body forever in my arms
In a place that can do no harm
We can make sure everything stays
If you want it this way

And if you keep me by your side tonight
You'll see, day by day, things will start to change
The sun will change its shade
And gray will dissipate
But now I'm just here in the rain

I just want you to know
There's nothing I wouldn't do
And nowhere I wouldn't go
For a kiss in the pouring rain
You are the lock and key
You are my ball and chain
And I would do anything
Just to be up in that window
With you
