As I stand here before you
There's not much left to say
I have known for a while you'd be leaving
I won't ask you to stay
But I hope your road is one of laughter
'Cause it's the sweetest sound I have known
I'll keep your cage forever after
Even though I know
This bird has flown
This bird has flown
You always said I was a dreamer
I guess I thought you were one too
Now you're gone, but I'm still dreaming
And all my dreams are still of you
I still see you walking down the aisle
All dressed in white with flowers in your hair
And I try to stay there for a while
'Cause i know that when I wake up
You won't be there
You won't be there
So I turn to higher powers
Like all desperate men do
And I pray to a God I don't believe in
To deliver me from you
But faithless prayers are rarely answered
Just as well I'm already on my knees
I'm just another Doubting Thomas
A disciple who can't believe
Until he sees
Until he sees
Now you are somewhere across the water
I am still in London town
And I note on my way past St Stephen's
That the rain, the rain's still coming down
And the rain is never-ending
In these borrowed days
That spring finds hard to trust
I guess the rain was trying to tell us
Love left untended
Tends to rust
Tends to rust
Tends to rust
Tends to rust
