Orange and lemon
Raincoats roll and tumble
Together, just liked fruit tipped from a tray
Pineapple wet heads
Watch new hairdos crumble
As scenery sunlight shifts away
Ballet for a rainy day
Silent film of melting miracle play
ย
Apples and cherries
Are varnished in water (Apples and cherries)
Despite striped awnings bright dismay
I push my paintbrush
To conjure a new world (I push my paintbrush)
While this one is slowly washed away
Ballet for a rainy day
Silent film of melting miracle play
Dancing out there through my window
To the backdrop of a slow descending grey
ย
When it rains, it rains
All the colors in my paintbox
When it rains, it rains
Tickets for the front row seats
Up on the rooftops
Orange and lemon
Raincoats roll and tumble (Apples and cherries)
Together, dropped in diamond disarray
Ballet for a rainy day
Silent film of melting miracle play
Dancing out there through my window
Behind the curtain silver falling
Ballet for a rainy day
Silent film of melting miracle play
Dancing out there through my window
To the backdrop of a slow descending grey
