The Aspidistra Flies

Stars


All the umbrellas in London 
Couldn't hide my love for you 
All the rain on Thamesside 
Couldn't stop shining through 
I dreamt of you last night 
Lying next to me in blue 
All the umbrellas in London 
Couldn't hide my love for you 

Run to the window and call out my name 
We'll meet where the sun goes to hide from the rain 
From the rain, from the rain 

All the umbrellas in London 
Couldn't hide my love for you 
When everyone else is hiding 
Rainy Sundays drunk at two 

You'll whisper sweet lies to me 
And one of them will be true 
All the umbrellas in London 
Couldn't hide my love for you 

The gloom of the city at evening is still 
You whisper come to me 
And I always will 
Always will, always will 

All the rain in this town 
And still the sky is blue 
Saint James Square is teeming with doves 
And that sunset they flew 

Across the darkening city 
To an attic room for two 
All the umbrellas in London 
Couldn't hide my love for you 

I counted all the lights 
They don't shine as bright 
They don't pierce the night like you do 
Like you do, like you do 
Like you do, like you do
