Brings jasmine tea on a painted tray
And bends to kiss my frown away
But I'm still stuck in the August rain
Stuck out in the cloudburst once again
The cover's on, the coast is clear
We're all battened down, only us here
But I'm still stuck in the August rain
Stuck out in the cloudburst once again
She walks between the lines
And she can read my signs
Stuck out in the August rain
Out in the cloudburst once again
Single-minded in my gloom
I appear to revel in this darkened tomb
But I'm still stuck in the August rain
Stuck out in the cloudburst once again
She walks between the lines
And she can read my signs
Stuck out in the August rain
Out in the cloudburst once again
Stuck out in the August rain
Out in the cloudburst once again
She walks between the lines
And she can read my signs
