Huddersfield Rain

Buy me a drink and let me tell you why I need it

I lit her cigarette we sat down

and we talked about the things that we regret

She said hold me and when

I’m gone just throw my body in the sea

I’m confused but you confuse me

if I seem lost then please don’t lose me

Just hold me

It’s been a long time since

I found someone that made me care

It’s not like I’ve been counting down the days

but if you ask me I could tell you how many there were

You know in this town a peace sign just means

that you want two more drinks

Summertime has taken a break

And we’re out there drinking cider in the Huddersfield rain

I wasn’t looking for salvation but somehow

you restored my faith

And it all just made sense again

So we walked down by the water

the sun was shining on her face

And she said with your arm in my arm

don’t worry about a thing

You know the only way we’ll make it

out of this town is together my dear

Summertime is taking a break

As I was walking past the graveyard

she was calling out my name

I wasn’t looking for salvation

but somehow you restored my faith

And it all just made sense again

As the morning broke we watched the boats come in

Wandered to the docks and we just threw our bodies in

And we had nothing but I’d do it all again

As I looked into her brown eyes under the Huddersfield rain
